How to create control used by ColorEditor

[=?Utf-8?B?bGpsZXZlbmQy?=]

Is there any way to create an instance of the control that is used by
System.Drawing. Design.ColorEdi tor (i.e., the control that appears when you
click on a color in a PropertyGrid)? I want to allow the user to select a
color from within my app (but not from a PropertyGrid). The control that is
used by the ColorEditor is perfect but I can't find it anywhere.

Thanks for any help!

The color pallette control used by ColorEditor is not public and therefore
cannot be used separately. As an alternative, you can consider using the
ColorDialog common dialog.

Hi,

I think this article will make you happy: http://www.vbinfozine.com/a_colorpicker.shtml
I use the same technique inside Smart PropertyGrid.Ne t to display the
ColorUI which is internal to ColorEditor.
