I displayed an image and then I wanted to put text on top of that image. I used the void dbText ( int iX, int iY, char* szString ) command and it works but the problem I'm having is that I want the text to appear on top of the image instead of behind it. How do I do this?

Just use the text command after you have put the image on screen:

Ohhh. I should have thought about that. Thanks a lot!

Edit:
I did dbSprite ( 1, 20, 360, 1 );
And then dbText ( 30, 370 );

And it sill doesn't work...

I think this command may help:



Call this once in your program setup to make all sprites being drawn first. All other 2D drawing such as text, pasting images, etc. should then be on top of the sprites.

Me, I do it differently:
First I load and setup all the sprites. Then I hide them all (dbHideAllSprites()). To draw the sprites like the other 2D stuff I use dbPasteSprite(). This will give you more control over your draw order.

Now the plot thickens, the fps decreases, and the awesomeness goes through the roof.
