If anyone can help with this problem I would be very appreciative.

I have created a 256 color bitmap in my resource file.  I am trying to
display the bitmap on the screen.  I am using the GetDIBits function
with the wUsage parameter set to DIB_RGB_COLORS to retrieve the color
information for the bitmap in order to create a logical palette (is this
the correct procedure ... ?).  However, even though the resulting
bmiColors[] array contains 256 elements, all of the entries have RGB
values of (0,0,0) except for the 20 entries reserved by the system.

I have loaded my .EXE with a resource editor and viewed the bitmap to
confirm that it is 256 color and indeed it is.

Any help?  This is the first time I have worked with 256 color bitmaps
and I would appreciate any information anyone has to offer.

Thanks in advance ...

Ron
