- Please excuse me if this is a common problem, and I'm sure it must be, but
- how does one get 256 colours out of Visual Basic? I have been told that PCX
- Toolkit for Windows and QuickPak Pro for Windows can produce 256 colours. Is
- this the only way to go? How about directly accessing the Windows API?
-
- Another question, which may be related to the above, does anyone have any
- information about Microsoft's Professional Toolkit for Visual Basic 1.0? Is
- the toolkit worth the price?
-
- Many thanks for any help you can give me.
