Unable to Hue (DirectDraw)

Anyone know how the hue "control" in DirectDraw works?
I've tried the following but havent been able to get it working:

'Create sprite from bitmap
'-- A blank SurfaceDescription suffices.
sprite = New Surface("c:\test.bmp", New SurfaceDescription,
GraphicsCard)

'Make all black areas of the sprite transparent
'--You can specify a color, but it defaults to black
Dim ck As ColorKey
sprite.SetColorKey(ColorKeyFlags.SourceDraw, ck)

'Set a hue
'-- Anywhere from 180 to -180
Dim ccoHue As ColorControlObject = New ColorControlObject
ccoHue.Hue = 100

Please get off your high horse. We are all volunteers here.
IDirectDrawColorControl is a relatively obscure interface of DirectDraw,
which in itself is not that common any more, and you are working with the
managed version, which is even less common. It is entirely possible that
no one else listening to this newsgroup has ever worked with it.

I hope that, when you have finished your experimentation and figured out
how to do it, that you post what you have learned here.

Oops - seems my overwrite was on, instead of insert. Last paragraph shoulda
been:

If anyone knows how a newbie to DirectX that knows pretty-much nothing, has
only been looking at DirectX as few days and admits to being a noob has a
"high horse" (just from stating whats backed-up by years of posts in
