Converting a Bitmap to a 4-Color Format (Windows CE 5.0)
(For versions prior to Microsoft Windows® CE 2.0)
You can use the New Project Wizard to create a bitmap or icon for a project.
Because Windows® CE 2.0 and later support 8-bit color, color resources for these applications do not require conversion.
To create a bitmap or icon
Open the image in the resource editor.
Open the Bitmap Properties dialog box by double-clicking the blank area of the left pane of the graphics editor window.
In the Colors drop-down box, choose a number.
To convert the bitmap to a 4-color image, select 4.
**Note **Do not keep two separate image sources to develop for target devices at the same time. If the link flags are set correctly, the images convert between 4-color and 16-color bitmaps during linking.
