Draw floating text

[CerealKilla]

To be able to tell you how you did it previously would mean we'd need access to every script you ever wrote.

I'm sure you think that's a reasonable request... >_<

Anyway, on behalf of the rest of the members who attempted to help, apology(?) accepted

Edit: Damnit, on post #8 I hit the plus reputation button when I meant to hit the MultiQuote...

As I said before, I only used functionality provided in the default AutoIt installation, and that it took 1 or 2 lines. You wouldn't need to have every script I've ever made... The code is already there, I just can't find it again.

And the rep thing, that's just your subconscious screaming how cool you think I am... o.O

This draws text to screen without a GUI.

;Graphics here
_GDIPlus_GraphicsClear($hGraphic, 0x00E8FFE8)

_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawString($hGraphic, "Hello world", 600, 420)
;End of graphics

_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage($hGraphicGUI, $hBMPBuff, 0, 0)
;End Double Buffer add-on 2 of 3

While 1
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage($hGraphicGUI, $hBMPBuff, 0, 0)
    Sleep(20)
WEnd

Func _Quit()
    ;_GDIPlus_BrushDispose($hBrush)
    ;_GDIPlus_PenDispose($hPen)
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphic)
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphicGUI)
    _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBMPBuff)
    _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Quit
;

this works for me but now ive tried editing the code and cant find where to make the text bigger and change color.

Font size and colour can be changed in the example here.
