Now with patch.
This can't work, since the bitmap needs to be selected into the dc for GetDIBColorTable to succeed and you're not allow to call GetDIBits with the bitmap selected into the dc...

Please correct me if the details of my understanding are wrong in any way.
The problem is that in the wine implementation, the palette is *not* stored anywhere inside the returned HBITMAP from CreateDIBSection(). Instead, the HDC used by CreateDIBSection must implement the pCreateDIBSection (this already leads to loss of palette information if it doesn't, for example in enhmfdrv), and then pCreateDIBSection is called, and somehow associates the HBITMAP with the actual implementation (in winex11drv, an XContext is used to save the pointer to a X_PHYSBITMAP, indexed by the HBITMAP). The method of getting to the palette information given an arbitrary DIB HBITMAP is private to the driver, and the functions contained in the BITMAPOBJ structure are not enough - a PHYSDEV is also required, usually provided by the DC. Million dollar question: what happens in the current implementation if a DIB created with a reference DC that saves the palette with method A is used with GetDIBits() and a reference HDC that expects a PHYSDEV with a different method B of saving the palette? Also, how do we get the palette information from GetDIBits() if the reference HDC does not support pGetDIBColorTable()?
Given that, I thought of a few solutions to get the palette information from a DIB without CreateCompatibleDC(): - Select the HBITMAP into the reference DC inside the implementation of GetDIBits(), then call GetDIBColorTable() on the reference DC. Although the HBITMAP should not be selected into the reference DC before calling GetDIBits(), MSDN says nothing about GetDIBits() itself selecting the bitmap into the reference DC. - Add a new field to BITMAPOBJ with the PHYSDEV from the reference DC. Then, the corresponding function pGetDIBColorTable could be called with the proper parameters without the need of a new DC. Palette information is still lost if reference DC of CreateDIBSection does not support pCreateDIBSection(). - Add a new field to BITMAPOBJ for the sole purpose of storing a copy of the DIB palette when calling CreateDIBSection(), and use it for GetDIBits(). Requires synchronization when calling SetDIBColorTable(), and possibly in other places, and also a rewrite of GetDIBColorTable(). However, this has the advantage that no palette information will be lost when creating a DIB section with a reference DC that does not implement pCreateDIBsection. The best method IMHO.
What do you think of these suggestions? Any comments are welcome.
