I am using VB 6 Enterprise.

How can I check the current setting of system color palette from VB (i.e.
using VB or Win API function). i would like to know whether it's 16 colors,
256 colors, True Color, etc...

Any help will be highly appreciated

Thanks

You can use the GetDeviceCaps API function call to do this. There is a
16-bit example at
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q114/7/09.asp which
you can easily convert to 32-bit.
