I use code kindly posted by someone else that looks like this:
' Check to see if system is running in 256 colors
ChkPlanes = GetDeviceCaps(frmWelcome.hDC, 14)
ChkbitsPixel = GetDeviceCaps(frmWelcome.hDC, 12)
ChkcolorBits = ChkPlanes * ChkbitsPixel
' ChkcolorBits will be:
' 4 for 16-color,
' 8 for 256-color,
' 16 for 32K or 64K, and
' 24 or 32 for 16Million.
