But I want in the background view it plays the video and send a text will display on the video. Right now My video is playing on the top and text is hidden behind the video. So please how can I play video in background view so that text is displayed on video screen.

How you stack and blend your windows is beyond the scope of LibVLC. LibVLC only draws video in the window that you give to it. Please refer to the documentation or help for your GUI toolkit, i.e. MFC.
