Hi!

I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following problem:

I am creating a image browser that displays images from 1 to x. The images
are JPG images with a high color resolution (24 bit). The browser works
like a grid with an image-component in each cell. The browser works fine on
systems with a high color resolution, but when it is run on a system with
256 color, the palette is crashed, and just one of the pictures(the last
loaded) is displayed fine.

I do believe I must do something with the palette to make the
image-components communicate, and use the same palette.

Does anyone know/have a little piece of source that explains me how to do
this?

Thanks!

Jorgen,

You've got to understand that, unless you tell it to behave differently,
in 256-color mode, Windows assumes that the specific 256 color palette
of the most recent image object is the master palette for the system.
Windows does allow you to allow for the other palettes to have somewhat
more effect in the inactive windows/image objects, *AND*, more
importantly, you *can* optimize the main form's master palette prior to
displaying all the images.  However, since your viewer's images are
going to change as you select different images, you'd be better off with
the first technique-the second one will massively slow down the recalc
and display time every time you add or change an image.

MSJ had a series of articles on this topic earlier this year that cover
the system palette and how to compensate in the inactive windows for a
changed active window palette.  Check out the MSN website.
