Write on screen

[ioSys]

Im making a timer counting down from 30 minutes and want it to be visible in top of all other windows. I want to do it in VB and i would like to have its background transparent just showing the digits in 1 corner.

I must point out that I CAN go get the code like everyone else on pscode.com, but that I ask here is that you guys like me like explainging programmingstuff and all that read this post after me will get help from it both in how doing this thing and getting ideas on programs to write.

I go look in "Visual Basic Graphics Programming" by Rod Stephens. Maybe the answear is in there

I found what i wanted to do in the book "Visual Basic 6 Black Book" by Steven Holzner. Good explanation of how to write on screen.
