Could you provide an example to check what you comment ? thanks

Enrico,

It seems as your bitmap uses a palette that PalBmpDraw() activates (though strangely hPalette is supplied as zero to PalBmpDraw()) and DrawBitmap() does not activate it.

In other words, for some bitmaps DrawBitmap() will be fine and for others that use a palette, PalBmpDraw() is required

Ok, thank you.

Mr Antonio

How to decide what function to use for a particular bitmap?

Rao,

I would say that for any bitmap, PalBmpDraw() is the way to go.

The difference is in the palette management though in Enrico`s example, a zero is supplied as the palette, but somehow PalBmpDraw() makes it work.

It seems as the PalBmpDraw() source code somehow makes the palette works fine (though it is not used as it is zero!).

Maybe if we apply the source code of PalBmpDraw() into DrawBitmap() then we can fix DrawBitmap() for palettes.
