Qt and DirectX for games

[DOBAZ]

Hello,

first post!

I need to develop an configuration utility for games. The utility will configure the actions of the physical buttons of the game controller. For every games on Microsoft that uses DirectX, I must create a utility program (Qt) that will overlay on the game screen and show in real time the buttons actions. The utility must be half trans-lucid. The question is:

How Can I make a utility soft that overlays the game screen that used DirectX and is half trans-lucid? Of course, if there's any way to do it on every games (all platforms, DirectX or not or driving the graphic card directly) would be better.

Many thanks

OK, thanks, that's what I'll do. Any experience with DirectX also? I wish to display a Qt app on top of a game which use DirectX. Asking just in case..

Thanks again

I've tried to use some files from the DirectX SDK with MinGW with no luck. Please keep in mind that I had no luck - there is possibly a way I do not know of.
