I try to make a add-on tool for a MMORPG game that is running in full screen (DirectX9). I am playing Project entropia, but it would be handy for multiple games...

It would be some kind of mapping tool. The mapping part is giong well at the moment (the engine of the proc), but i am thinking about the UI, as i hate <alt-tab>-ing al the time. The following issues arise:
- How to get a 'overlay' functionality (display a map over the games view)
I assume the window needs to be always on foreground/topmost
- What UI-interface should be used (Also DX, ???)
Will transparancy be possible to still be able to see normal view...?
- How well would interacting be possible (switching between game/tool possible)

The programming language is no issue (allmost all languages are possible, C(++, #, ...), Delphi, Java, ...). Does anyone have a clue if, and when yes, how the goals can be achived? Any code samples or proof of concepts are welcome.

If the tool is finished I want to make it available for the public, so everyone can benefit. Help is also allowed...
