Does anyone know how to write pixels to the desktop in
WIN32. Like how the 'virtual friend' programs will show
cartoon characters walking across the screen no matter what
window is open. Please, help... Thanks a bunch!! Timmy

It should be fairly easy if you know how to draw on a window. All you
need to do is use some API to get the screen's DIB and draw on it. I
don't have time to look into it right now, but I'll see if I can figure
it out later.

From Win32Lib.htm:
Screen
Identifes the screen.
Category: Controls
The Screen refers to the computer screen. It is automatically created, and
it most graphic methods that work in Windows will also work with the
screen.
Example:
-- Draw an 'x' across the screen
sequence extent
-- get the screen extent
extent = getExtent( Screen )
-- set the pen color to red
setPenColor( Screen, Red )
-- draw the lines
drawLine( Screen, 0, 0, extent[1], extent[2] )
drawLine( Screen, extent[1], 0, extent[2], 0 )
