I have a problem with using windows palettes.

What I am trying to do is to define two pens with palette relative colors.
These two pens live in a dll where functions make use of them with user
defined palettes or the dll's default palette.  If I use the default
palette, and never use an application defined palette, all seems to work
ok.  However, if I do use an application palette, those pens will be
forever the colors from that palette.  If I happen to use the default
palette first, then the user palette will never show.

What I need to know is, does windows fix-up palette relative references
when they are selected?  And if so, is there any other way to do what I am
trying to do?

thanks for the help...

ciao
jeff
