Color Dialog

[=?Utf-8?B?R3JlZw==?=]

I've been trying to figure out how to show a color dialog in VB.Net . I've
come across the following code that shows it, but its not the advanced color
dialog I am looking for. I know there is another way to show a color dialog
box, but I can't seem to find it.

Dim MyDialog As New ColorDialog()
' Keeps the user from selecting a custom color.
MyDialog.AllowF ullOpen = False
' Allows the user to get help. (The default is false.)
MyDialog.ShowHe lp = True
' Sets the initial color select to the current text color,
MyDialog.Color = Me.BackColor
' Update the text box color if the user clicks OK
If (MyDialog.ShowD ialog() = DialogResult.OK ) Then
Me.BackColor = MyDialog.Color
End If

I thought there was a shortcut type of code that would allow me to show the
color dialog. Can anyone point me in the right direction .

Thanks.

RE: Color Dialog

Hi,

In WinForm applications, there's only one way to show a color dialog, i.e.
create an instance of ColorDialog class and call the Show or ShowDialog
method of the dialog instance to show it.

I've come across the following code that shows it, but its not the

advanced color dialog I am looking for.

What is the advanced color dialog you are looking for?

I thought there was a shortcut type of code that would allow me to show

the color dialog.

No, there isn't a shortcut type of code that would allow us to show the
color dialog.

RE: Color Dialog

When the dialog opens, there is a button to expand the color dialog for the
user to create their own color definition. But, when I show the dialog this
button is not enabled. Do I have to enable it somehow?

Re: Color Dialog

Hi Greg,

have a look at the ColorDialog members:
ColorDialog.Ful lOpen = true;

possibly this too:
ColorDialog.All owFullOpen = true;

is what you are looking for,...

Maybe this for future:
ColorDialog.Any Color = true;

As said, have a look at all the ColorDialog Properties,...


Regards

Kerem
