HeHi there. I want to read a bitmap file and play aroud with its pixels. I don't want to load it into a picturebox or image control. HAs anyone opened a bitmap file and directly processed it's pixels without loading it into a picture or image control....
Thanks,
allan

Here's an example which I made to get the color under the cursor. It captures the pixel color (of a screenshot) when a shortcut is pressed. Then the color and its code is displayed on the form.
