I'm loading a 256-color bitmap onto a form using the Form's Picture
property. I then want to use some of the colors from that bitmap as
the BackColor of some of the controls. However, the colors I get are
not solid--they're dithered. I then tried using the Win API Palette
calls to create a custom palette that had these specific colors.
Still, I get dithered colors.

Is there no way to use a custom color (solid) on a VB control? How
would one do it? How does one use the PALETTERGB method, to set a
color such as &H02ADDEFF&. When I set BackColor to this value, I
always get "Invalid Property Value". In Windows doc., it states to use
02 as the first byte to use the custom palette.

I'm in great need to get this resolved. Any help would be appreciated.
