I have been working a bit of code for my program for a while now, and I've got all the bugs worked out except one.

What my code basically does, is when you hit "i" it brings up a small on-screen menu. I use the input command to get the name of a certain .x object name and another input command to get an object number.

My menu will toggle on and off now, but when it hits the input command everything else on screen (that is 2d such as my menu and other text) will disappear and I can only see what I am typing in the input, I can't even see the question that it asks.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can stop Input from destroying all my other 2d effects on screen lol?

Thanks again in advance.

This isn't the code for my game, but this does the same thing. When you hit 'i', all 3d stops and 2d disappears...

Hey, thanks for helping xmen. In that little program it works. With my game, I have a skybox and lots of bitmaps on the screen. So, it still doesn't work on my actual game.


Any other suggestions?
