[The Midnighter]

I did a search for this, and couldn't find anything so I thought I'd ask you guys.

So, I've got two forms. I'm making a notepad for my class, and I'm trying to change the colour - The way I'm trying to do this is like this.
I've got my main form, with my Richboxeditor and I've got a button I want the user to press to change the colour, it's going to open up my second form (frmColors) and here's how I've tried it so far, it's getting something to pop up, but it's not my form with my colours on it.

Dim frmColor As New Form
frmColor.Show()

I think that the "Dim frmColor As New Form" creates a new form over top of the one you created at design time. You could use a colour dialog, so you get a choice of any colour you want:

Private Sub btnChangeColor_Click
ColorDialog1.ShowDialog
frmMain.Color = ColorDialog1.Color
End Sub

I'd suggest that you start by dropping the Dim statement and simply opening the form.

But TNT's right, the common dialog control would be the better way to go - it includes the standard Windows colour picker. The specifics of how it is done may vary between versions of VB.
