HTML color picker

[Ryan]

Is there a way to use the color picker that comes with the microsoft common dialog control to get html color codes? Or something else that I could look at so a user could click on a color and get a html color code from it?

Thanks in advanced.

you need to convert the number to hex code
like black RGB(0,0,0) is 000000 and white RGB{255,255,255) is FFFFFF

Be careful that HTML uses RGB convention (Red, Green, Blue) but VB uses BGR (Blue, Green, Red)

Here's a function you can try:

Public Function RGBHexColor(lngColor As Long) As String
Dim sHex As String
sHex = Hex(lngColor)
sHex = Right$("000000" & sHex, 6)
sHex = Right$(sHex, 2) & Mid$(sHex, 3, 2) & Left$(sHex, 2)
RGBHexColor = sHex
End Function

Just call this function and pass the color the CommonDialog returns.

Good luck!
