    Thanks for the reply, but I am still a c# newbie.

    Please give me a code snipet.

    I am in direct x 9c and have a form in widows mode with graphics on it and sprites.

    I want to be able to detect a color when I have a mouse over a certin point.

    The getpixel seems like it would work, but how do i store the color in a variable

    Are you displaying the background image yourself If so, GetPixel will give you want you want, you just need to work out your mousepos as it relates to the image.
