What’s really fun is hooking into the WM_PAINT event from the target processes main thread and then drawing your own controls over whatever was rendered…

Overlays, AIMBots, Discord, Flight Sim Software, we all do it…

i did this in the 90s for some kewl showoff programs generating something or other. i assumed there would be a modern graphics framework and API now. still just intercepting that paint event eh?
