Hi

Can someone explain this whole confusing subject.

What I'm TRYING to do (and I thought it was going to be simple!)
is this:

I have a bitmap. On this picture (amongst other things) is a box filled with 3 colours.

I want to specifiy these three colours by their PALETTE INDEX (is there such a thing) and then change those 3 colours at runtime.

I want all the system colours and all the other colours to remain the same. Which is why I figured I had to use a 256 colour bitmap and leave the first 20 as is, and colour my 'box' with 3 colours from the palette after 20.

How do I know what the index is of the palette and make sure I color the bitmap in with the correct palette index? I'm using Photoshop 6 or Windows Paint.

I'm using VB 6 SP5 and it's now 1130am, I've been at this since 0740 and I STILL can't find anything that would help unless I knew how to program C++!!! Grrrrrr

Thanks
