How Can I Pick A Color From A BMP??

Is there any way to move the mouse over a BMP file in my VB app and see what color it is over?

I am using one of those ActiveX components to shape the form to a bitmap image with a transparent color. I want the user to select the color from the bitmap loaded in a picturebox in a seperate form.

Any way of doing this? can someone show me a sample code line for this?

I would greatly appreciate it!

Theres a method, point(x,y) for pictureboxes, there's an api called getpixel(x,y) for device contexts.

Here is Vb-World's search results for GetPixel, I'm sure you will find what your looking for :rolleyes:.

The MouseDown event has the X,Y coordinates of the mouse pointer as arguments. So in the MouseDown Event of the picturebox you can say:

Code:

---

  Dim SelectedColor As Long

  SelectedColor = picWhatever.Point(X, Y)
