Hi Jay,

This is the code:

batchSprite.Begin(DX3D.SpriteFlags.AlphaBlend Or _

DX3D.SpriteFlags.SortTexture)

Dim rect As New System.Drawing.Rectangle(5, 5, 0, 0)

viewFont.DrawText(batchSprite, _

Convert.ToString(Val), _

rect, _

DX3D.DrawTextFormat.NoClip, _

System.Drawing.Color.Yellow)

batchSprite.End()

I'm using Visual Studio 2003. The viewFont.DrawText code above has the blue
squiggly lines underneath. When I mouseover it, I get a yellow box that
basically says "overload resolution failed. No accessible

'DrawText' is most specific." message. There are two options in the box. One
contains a ByRef rect and the other ByVal rect. Since I can't figure out how
to tell VB which one to use, I can't compile the code.

Any advice?

Thanks for you time,

DF
