i am having problems displaying a multi-image bitmap in my list box.
The correct bitmap images come up, but they have no colour for some reason, only the black and a bit of grey shows up..
has anyone experienced this bofore? anyone know how to fix it?

Michael,
Have you ever used a paint program and emptied the paint bucket the wrong place? With the paint colour flooding the wrong parts of your picture? What you see is similar to that.
It's a known problem. See this posting by Carl Pates at Sprezzatura: .
The simple solution is - as I mention later in that thread: Make the upper left pixel of your bitmap black. Just that one pixel. That will stop the flooding.
Of course now your first image will have a black pixel in its upper left corner. You might not want that. The workaround (which I got from Carl later) is simply [i]not to use the first image[/i]. E.g if you need [i]three[/i] images for you list box, let your bitmap have [i]four[/i] images and always use image n+1 instead of n. See?

Ah - I remember this one. You can also surround the picture, with a black border, that need not be rectangular in shape. Assuming that it is an icon of some type, this generally looks fine.
