Bob. Thanks for your article on converting a bitmap to a region
(http://www.bobpowell.net/region_from_bitmap.htm).

I've implemented that method - and I find that when I apply the region to
the form it takes a long time for the form to then reveal itself (as in 2 -
5 seconds).

I assume this is because the region is quite complex, having been
constructed with a lot of little data-points. The picture is no more (in
fact less) complex the triumph motorcycle sample on your article....so I was
wondering. Is there some way to optimize this - or speed it up - or other
general work arounds if it is just a slow thing?

Thanks Bob.

This can be speeded up enormously by using LockBits to get the pixels rather
than GetPixel which is horribly slow.
