color pallete

[fi2000do]

Is it possible to combine a black and white image with a color pallete in Visual Basic?

Tks

Usually palette entry 0 is black and 255 is white, so the colours will be available.... is that what you needed?

If you want to use a palettised mode you will have to change the colour depth to 8-bit using the API, and then you can fiddle around with the palette entries if you want. You can also get hold of the primary display surface exclusively using DirectX, and you can easily set the colour depth with that.

You could do a workaround without using an 8-bit colour mode, but you wouldn't get any of the speed benefits of 8-bit colour.
