Hi Guy,

ColorDialog returns the result as datatype...Syst em.Drawing.Colo r
You can use static method of class
system.Drawing. ColorTranslator
ToHtml, ToOle or ToWin32 as per your requirement..

Hope this will help...

how do i catch the click event of color dialog?

[Shashi Sadasivan]

do u want to make the control behave in a different way?

The ColorDialog is an independant control which has ben created so that the user can select a colour and it then returns the colour type.

If you want to make any changes inbetween this you have to make your own control inheriting from the ColorDialog

if i click cancel, the action should be cancelled. but a color is set in the text box

private void txtSLForeColor_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                cdColorPallette.ShowDialog();
                txtSLForeColor.Text = cdColorPallette.Color.ToArgb().ToString("x");
                txtSLForeColor.BackColor = cdColorPallette.Color;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                General.writeErrorLog(this.Name, "txtSLForeColor_Click()", ex.Message);
            }
        }

Yes I have the same porblem. When choosing cancel, it selects the default color
...no wait

if (colorDialog.Sh owDialog() == DialogResult.OK )

[Plater]

.ShowDialog() always returns an instance of DialogResult.
For the pre-made dialogs (ColorDialog, OpenDialog, SaveDialog, etc) it is always DialogResult.OK or DialogResult.Ca ncel
