Has anyone had this problem with XP?
Hi
I've got some code that works on Win98 but not on XP. I'm making an "on-the-fly" mask maker.
I do some inversions and use myPic.point (1,1) to assign the current transparent color to use within a Transblit (I'm sure transblit is working fine)function. The machine has loads of memory yet it seems like its spliting colors up like it's in 16 bit or something. So when I pick any given point it may not contain the true color but a representation of it. I believe this is the problem as my code works when I use constants in my code instead of depending on point. I don't have access to the xp machine more than once a week so if any one knows?
My question: Is there a way to find out the backcolor assigned to a window even if XP thinks it knows a better way to display it?
My Other question: Has anyone else had this problem with XP?
Do u have more info on the swap problem Fox?
Do u have more info on the swap problem Fox? It may have to do with the way "any" color is interpreted seeing that masking is 2 inverted colors added to negate each other (at leat that's how I understand it) and I'm making the masks with an interactive backcolor to consistently keep the backcolor transparent.
