it can be done with either quite easily, and the topic is covered in many tutorials and their respective SDK's.

OpenGL Solution
dont think that will work i want to write text to another programs windows not its own
You won't be able to do that without breaking rules. That window has a lock on it's frame buffer, and you would have to break that lock. To do that, you have to find out where the memory is being written (in VRAM, which cannot be accessed by normal conventions), the bit depth of that buffer, how often draw calls are made....no, just don't try it.
