  Use GetSurfaceRGBMask() to detecting the RGB pixel format mask of a surface.
 

[pbcode]


OpenScreen 800,600,16,2  
; OpenScreen 800,600,32,2

; Get the pixel format of this mode, then we just mask our colours against this.
Global RGBFormatMask=GetSurfaceRGBMask(0)



   Do
      cls rgb(0,0,0)

      BoxColour=Rgb(255,0,255) And RGBFormatMask         
      BoxC 200,200,300,300,true,BoxColour
   

      Mx=mouseX()
      My=mouseY()
   
      MouseOverColour=Point(mx,my) And RGBFormatMask         

      ; draw mouse pointer
      Dotc MX,MY,RGB(255,255,255)


      print Hex$(BoxColour)
      print Hex$(MouseOverCOlour)


      if MouseOverColour=BoxColour
         Print "You hit the box"
      endif

   loop   





Function GetSurfaceRGBMask(ThisSurface)

   If Depth=15 then Mask=$00f8f8f8   
   If Depth=16 then Mask=$00f8fcf8   
   If Depth=24 then Mask=$00ffffff
   If Depth=32 then Mask=$00ffffff
