Does anyone have a working example (code) of a DirectDraw overlay? Like something moving on the screen. I have been trying to find an example of DirectDraw overlaying usage and was unable to.

Thank you.

Try some of these:

[Edit] A bit more googling suggests you might want D3D Hooking? ..or have your tried the DirectDraw Overlay Library on CodePlex?

I have tried both these sources before, none worked, hence why I asked for a working example.However thanks for at least trying.

This code should work (I tried it when it comes out and it worked totally fine), its a little old and I don't know if it actually build with the actual SDK thought. (you maybe have to use an old SDK)

Doesn't work on win7 and I can't figure out, reason why I am asking for a working example is so that I can figure out how directdraw overlays actually work from it.But thanks.
