    SetPixel, Picturebox not saving correctly


    The code below subtracts two images from one another and determines if
    there is any new things in the picture. A large enough color change
    will "register" a pixel. The pixel is then plotted using SetPixel call.


    On the form picture3 changes, but if I refresh it shows nothing. The
    same happens when I save it. It saves an image that is "creamy white"
    in color.


    I tried messing with CreateCompatibl eDC, of the image, and then set the
    pixels using this device context but I unfamiliar really with DC's and
    all the jazz.

    Thanks for any help.


    -----------------------------------


    For j = 0 To Form1.Picture1. ScaleHeight
    For i = 0 To Form1.Picture1. ScaleWidth

    tcol1 = GetPixel(Form1. Picture1.hdc, i, j)
    tcol2 = GetPixel(Form1. Picture2.hdc, i, j)

    r1 = tcol1 Mod 256
    g1 = (tcol1 Mod 256) \ 256
    b1 = tcol1 \ 256 \ 256

    r2 = tcol2 Mod 256
    g2 = (tcol2 Mod 256) \ 256
    b2 = tcol2 \ 256 \ 256

    r3 = Abs(r1 - r2)
    g3 = Abs(g1 - g2)
    b3 = Abs(b1 - b2)

    rs = Form1.VScrollRG B(0).Value
    gs = Form1.VScrollRG B(1).Value
    bs = Form1.VScrollRG B(2).Value

    If r3 > rs Or g3 > gs Or b3 > bs Then
    SetPixel Form1.Picture3. hdc, i, j, RGB(rs, gs, bs)
    Else
    SetPixel Form1.Picture3. hdc, i, j, RGB(0, 0, 0)
    End If

    Next
    Next




    ---------------------------

    Then I try to save the picture with this:

    SavePicture Form1.Picture3. Image, "C:\outputpics\ img" & count & ".bmp"


    I just get a tan colored picture saved and not the picture displayed on
    the form.
