<BODY>
<p><b>Q: How do I display a 256 color bitmap?</b>

<p>A: To display a 256 color bitmap, you must use the palette information
that is in the bitmap.  With the palette information, you create a GDI
object known as a logical palette, using the function <var>CreatePalette()</var>.
You must also call the functions <var>SelectPalette()</var> and
<var>RealizePalette()</var>
before displaying the bitmap.  The <var>SelectPalette()</var> function is used to
select a logical palette into the device context.  The
<var>RealizePalette()</var>
function maps color entries in the logical palette that is selected into
the device context to entries in the system palette.

<p>Since the system palette may be shared by more than one application,
Windows uses a few messages for sharing the palette.   When an
application is about to receive the input focus, Windows sends the
window a <var>WM_QUERYNEWPALETTE</var> message.  If the application uses the
palette, it should realize its logical palette, invalidate the window's
client area, and return <var>TRUE</var> to indicate that it has changed the system
palette.

<p>When the system palette has been changed, Windows sends
<var>WM_PALETTECHANGED</var> messages to all the inactive windows, from top to
bottom in the Z-order.  A window that uses the palette should do one of
two things:

<ul>
<li>It can realize its palette by calling <var>RealizePalette()</var>, and redraw
the client area.  When realizing its palette, colors are mapped to any
free entries in the system palette that remain, otherwise, they are
mapped to the closest colors in the system palette.</li>
<li>It can call the function <var>UpdateColors()</var>.  This function quickly maps
existing system palette colors on the screen to the closest colors in
the new system palette.  The accuracy of the matched colors decreases
every time this function is called, so a bitmap color's will become more
and more distorted, until the window is brought to the foreground.</li>
</ul>

<p>The following example displays a 256 color bitmap:
