Playing with all the basic 2D commands, I've made a puzzling discovery. If you run a DOT command with the following parameters, you get white: 100,100,16777215. However, if you use RGB to extract the DWORD color value of white it's 4,294,967,295. Are there two ranges embedded in each command that takes a color value? The color tutorial didn't seem to cover this discrepancy.

No. What DBPro is doing is adding the alpha component to your colour. This is always set to 255.

As far as drawing to a bitmap is concerned, they are identical.
