Hello !!

Is the following correct ??

LoadImage() converts all images (.bmp)
automatically to 32 Bit ??
I load images that i saved as 8bit and
24bit .BMP´s, but ImageDepth() returns
32 for every image.

I´m working with ImageList´s and need
to add a new .BMP to the list, so i have
to know the color depth used.

I tried so many things, but it doesnt work.

Anyone knows something about imagelists
and LoadImage() internals ??

Another weird thing:
ImageList_Create returns the same handle
every time i start the program.
Thats weird, because every handle changes
every time, but ImageList_Create returns
1270472 every time i start the application.

I´m really confused...

Thanks,
...Danilo

LoadImage convert the Image to your desktop color depth. About the image list, it should easy to add loaded BMP to it. What's exactly the problem ?

Thanks for the fast answer Fred !!

The ImageList problem is already gone...

I need to specify the Color Depth
for the ImageList.
Is there a way to get the color depth
of the desktop with an easy API call ??
(need it in my Toolbar library)

Thanks,
...Danilo
PS: I added Tooltips and more buttons today
to the Toolbar library.
Need to finish the imagelist stuff before
release.... but it looks very good so far...

Any way to be able to specify the color depth when loading or saving?
I find the BMP's that it saves are incompatable with Photoshop. I need to save to 24bit but they always save to 32bit (cause my desktop is set to 32bit true color)

Fixed. Now images are save in 24 bit format. 32 bit is not supported, my fault. I tried and it load in photoshop now. Just tell me if it's fine now. Get the updated lib at http://www.purebasic.com/update/Image
