how to use DIB_PAL_COLORS in CreateDIBSection() ?

can anybody tell me how to use DIB_PAL_COLORS in CreateDIBSection ? I've tried lot of times, it just doesn't work.
Below is the code i used to create a DIB bitmap with using DIB_PAL_COLORS
//HWND hWnd - hWnd of window own the bitmap
//RGB_TIGA - rgb struct for palette entries
//HBITMAP hBmp -bmp handle to receive the newly created bmp
BOOL CreateTileBitmap(HWND hWnd,RGB_TIGA pal[4],HBITMAP& hBmp)
{
LPBITMAPINFO lpbi;
lpbi = (LPBITMAPINFO) new BYTE[sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER)  +
     (COLOR_INDEX * sizeof(RGBQUAD))];

lpbi->bmiHeader.biSize = sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER);
lpbi->bmiHeader.biWidth = 8;
lpbi->bmiHeader.biHeight = 8;
lpbi->bmiHeader.biPlanes = 1;
lpbi->bmiHeader.biBitCount = 8;
lpbi->bmiHeader.biCompression = BI_RGB;
lpbi->bmiHeader.biSizeImage = 0;
lpbi->bmiHeader.biXPelsPerMeter = 0;
lpbi->bmiHeader.biYPelsPerMeter = 0;
lpbi->bmiHeader.biClrUsed = 0;
lpbi->bmiHeader.biClrImportant = 0;

for (int i=0;i<COLOR_INDEX;i++)
{
   lpbi->bmiColors[i].rgbRed      = pal[i].bRed<<3;
   lpbi->bmiColors[i].rgbGreen = pal[i].bGreen<<3;
   lpbi->bmiColors[i].rgbBlue      = pal[i].bBlue<<3;
   lpbi->bmiColors[i].rgbReserved =PC_RESERVED;
}

HDC hScreenDC = ::GetDC(hWnd);
hBmp =CreateDIBSection(hScreenDC,lpbi,
                        DIB_PAL_COLORS,
                        NULL,NULL,0);
      ::ReleaseDC(hWnd,hScreenDC);
            
      delete [](BYTE *)lpbi;
return TRUE;
}
is there anything wrong with my code ? is not, then after i've created the bitmap, i use the function below to create a logical palette :

HPALETTE CreatePalette(RGB_TIGA pal[4])
{
    HPALETTE hPal;
    LOGPALETTE* lpPal =(LOGPALETTE*) new BYTE[sizeof(LOGPALETTE) + (COLOR_INDEX*(sizeof(PALETTEENTRY)))];
    lpPal->palVersion = 0x300;
    lpPal->palNumEntries = 4;
            
    for (int i=0;i<COLOR_INDEX;i++)
    {
      lpPal->palPalEntry[i].peRed      = pal[i].bRed;
      lpPal->palPalEntry[i].peGreen      = pal[i].bGreen;
      lpPal->palPalEntry[i].peBlue      = pal[i].bBlue;
      lpPal->palPalEntry[i].peFlags      = PC_RESERVED;
    }
    hPal  = ::CreatePalette(lpPal);
    delete [] (BYTE*) lpPal;
    return hPal;
}
anything wrong with this ? if no, ok then, now i've created both bitmap and my logical palette, then when i want to
blit the bitmap to the dc, i have to select my desired logical palette into dc right ? is it as below :
  HDC dcmem;
  CDC *pDC = GetDC();
  dcmem = CreateCompatibleDC(pDC->m_hDC);
  HPALETTE oldPal = (HPALETTE) SelectPalette(pDC->m_hDC,&m_hMyPal,FALSE);
  HBITMAP old = (HBITMAP)SelectObject(dcmem,m_hMyBmp);
  StretchBlt(pDC->m_hDC,0,0,8,8,
           dcmem,0,0,8,8,SRCCOPY);
   SelectPalette(pDC->m_hDC,&oldPal,FALSE);
   SelectObject(dcmem,old);
   ::DeleteDC(dcmem);
   ReleaseDC(pDC);
...anything wrong with these, why the bmp get drawn in blank ? did i miss out something ? If i use DIB_RGB_COLORS, it
would be fined, but i can't because my application will always change the palette and i can't afford to recreate the
bitmap constantly..
can anybody help please ?

thanx phillip, but your code doesn't help me any thing, I can't use load bitmap to get the hBitmap, instead i have to create it on the fly and have to change their palette frequently, thats why i have to user palette index instead of rgb color, and your code is kind of hard to read. Anyway, thanx for you help.

Ooops, when I mean > 64 I really mean low order 5 bits are zero.

i'm really sorry Raymond, actually COLORINDEX is #define constance where i defined it as #define COLORINDEX 4, so there is no difference between COLORINDEX and 4, because i only need 4 colors, and for the <<3 bit, that is my application requirement, because actually i store the color in 5 bits only, so when i want to display the color, i've to shift it back, just ignore it, doesn't matter..

No problem. You had better reject my answer now.
