The sample uses DirectDraw overlays to render a black 256x64 box to the top-left of the screen, with some text in it. I would’ve shown you a screenshot, but I can’t, due to the way overlays work. Overlays are displayed as the device is painting the monitor from the primary surface. If it’s painting a location where an overlay exists, it paints the monitor with its color instead of the primary surface. Consequently, you can’t capture that in an image.

Back to the sample. The files of interest are:
Overlay.cpp: Window creation (auto-generated, nothing interesting) and the main loop (important).

dwAlignBoundarySrc
; X& v/ m3 O8 F0 a' G% @& n5 udwAlignSizeSrc
dwAlignBoundaryDest
+ w& I8 U* n4 j" gdwAlignSizeDest
dwAlignStrideAlign
, c" R% o  B, N% @# _$ n5 C/ z! l/ ldwMinOverlayStretch
dwMaxOverlayStretch

The limitations are hardware-dependent. For example, my X300 doesn’t impose any alignment restrictions for the source or destination overlay rectangles. In a product, however, you’d want to make sure you check for these and abide by them. Use CapsViewer to find out the limitations of your hardware quickly. I don’t know if the October SDK caps database includes DirectDraw caps or not, but consider checking it out.
