dcyuri7 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I'm writing an application for my mother, who need's a chat program to message my little brother while he's playing games(fullscreen).(Mostly cuz he's upstairs, she's downstairs, and yelling up and down hallways kinda sucks... Mom: "Son!! its time for dinner!!", Son: "Whatt? i cant hear you! im busy, bother me later"... basically how it goes...) Yes I could do something in C++, but for the moment I've found quite an interest in Autoit 3, really liking its features... so would prefer it. Basically, I need to be able to pop-up a window/GUI between two computers(ive mastered server and client applications so I have no problem sending and recieving data between two computers using auto it... Chat will be easy), that does NOT minimize current applications(like a fullscreen game), so that my mother may chat with him while he's playing games. Does anyone know if AutoIt can do this? If so, i would really appreciate it if someone could tell me the correct search terms for google.com so i can research this and do it. Don't necessarily need a code example, but that would be great too. Anything would help really... Any help is GREATLY appreciated, Yuri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettF Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 You could always start the process by pressing a key, which is a pause key for the game, depending on what process is open, and then show the GUI, with the required styles.
