This has probably been asked before but . . . .

   I have an app written in VB6 that displays images in a
PictureBox.  I want the images to look their best even on
in a 256 color environment.

So . . . I've tried setting PaletteMode to vbPaletteModeCustom
and then setting the Palette to the Picture object.  It has
no effect!   I suspect the issue is that the Picture object
is an image with way more that 256 colors and the doc does
say that to create a custom palette in this way it has to
be a 256 color image.

Is there a way to get VB to do what I want?

Or . . .

Can someone point me to some code that will look at an image
and create an "optimized" 256 color palette?  My app does only
display one image at a time so a custom palette per image is
ok.
