Hi Christof,

I sent David a message which may not have gotten through. I don't know what I did, but when I set the biClrUsed of the BITINFOHEADER structure back to zero, suddenly both colors and the shifting problem went away. I did change some other things, however, so I don't know exactly what did what. Apparently, I finally got "all my ducks in a row".

I sent David a copy of an application call Obj2Bmp that took an object reference and turned it into a bitmap file, but only for 16 bit color. Now I can update that and maybe I'll post it on the UT. The Obj2Bmp app was, as I said earlier, designed for documenting purposes, but since this uses a window handle rather than an object reference, if I can incorporate that as well, it can be something that can be used at runtime.

Thanks for the feedback.
