On the Monitor,Movie may be running or an user may be playing the game or an user may be browsing the net.

In this situation, I want to display text as an overlay of the running video/playing game etc.. That is the any thing that is going on should not get disturbed and the Message Text to be displayed for some seconds.

This is like When we increase/Decrease volume on TV, it displays the "Volume ||||||||||||" but it does not disturb the movie.

If any one gives idea, it will be more helpful.

Thankx
Karthik

I think you should use Overlays...

Certainly it's overlays.

Is there any API/Interface to access the display Buffer to write directly into it?
