Hi Herman,

After reviewing the code posted on MSDN and running some test data, I've come to the conclusion that writing a parser to convert BIMAPINFO structures may be too complicated given the variety of palette types one might encounter.

News2News has some great code for converting DIB orientated BTMAPINFO structures to various image formats via the News2News GDIPLUS class. The News2News solution requires a HANDLE to DIB BITMAP info - not the raw DIB BITMAP info itself.

So I'm going to post in the Windows API section of the UT asking for ideas on how to convert a BITMAPINFO data stream to a DIB handle.

I think I'm getting close. Thanks for all your help. And yes I will post my solution in the downloads section so others might benefit.

Regards,
Malcolm
