-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I've also considered a similar implementation to that Xfire<http://www.xfire.com>does to produce its in-game menus. I think it uses DirectX overlays. Xfire's in-game menus are entirely keyboard controlled, so whether a mouse controllable UI is possible. Anyone know much about this or how Xfire implements its in-game menus.
