    Yes, its a GIF. That HasTransparency routine is a pre-filter when SavePictureGDI+ is called and I see now I have to handle GIFs differently. GDI+ can return alpha pixel format for GIFs that don't use alpha. An easy enough mod to that routine.

    If you did want to modify that cFunctionsPCX SaveToStream routine, you'd just have to rem out or remove that one line afterall
    Code:
    bAlpha = HasTransparency(Handle, ImageType, tBMP.PixelFormat, False)
    BTW: With above temp mod, that gif compressed to 689 kb

    Thanx for leading me to that issue.
    Oh and great image; looks soooo rich & just 256 colors, wow!

    Re: [RESOLVED] About PCX

    Petersen

    Came across this thread and am trying to get it to work with VB.Net using framework 4.5

    The file being created is not in the correct format. I had made a few changes in the declarations to make the code run. Still missing something. Can you take a look?

    Starting with the image in a picturebox:
    Code:
            Dim sPCXFile As String = System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName
            Dim oGraphics As Graphics = myPictureBox.CreateGraphics
            Dim oHDC As IntPtr = oGraphics.GetHdc()
            SavePCX(sPCXFile, oHDC, 500, 500)
    Your code with amendments:
    Code:
    Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
    
        Private Const vbSRCCOPY = &HCC0020
