Hi Mark, My capture board only outputs 24bit BMPS. I tried loading one into MhPicture (256 color version) and I got a "Unrecoveralbe Error". Does MhPicture handle 24bit to 8bit conversion?. BTW, is there a way to tell MhPicture not to fit bmps into a picture control? Thanks. There is 1 Reply.

Victor, Would it be possible for you to send us the bmp on a disk so we can try to duplicate the problem? Please be sure to include a READ.ME file that tells us what to do! Our picture control expects to see a standard 256-color BMP file and doesn't do any "translating". Can you paste the same bmp into PaintBrush? >Is there a way to tell MhPicture not to fit bmps into a picture control. I'm not sure I understand your question. I can *guess* however! We recently added a property to the control that tells it to "clip" the bitmap instead of shrinking/stretching it if the bmp is not the same size as your control and AutoSize=False.

Hi Mark, I took the liberty to send you the file on BUG BBS. It should be there by the time you read this message. The file is called VICTOR.ZIP under section VBTOOLS2. I've included a read.me file per your instruction. Yes, I was able to load the same bitmap into Paintbrush. Thanks for the info on the new picture property. It is exactly what I wanted. Victor.
