    Color Picker - Excel / Office Style

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm trying to find some sample code to create an Excel / Office style color picker. I'm fully aware of the ColorDialog, but I need this to be a simple mechanism "launched" via a button that displays just below the button and allows the user to select from a palette of color. Basically I want something like you see in Excel and other Office apps on the toolbar for setting font color and background color. I found something in C# and took a screen shot of it:

    Anyone know of some VB.net code for doing something like this?

    Best,

    Thomas

    Don't be scared of the fact that it's C#. If they provide the source code use a converter and switch it to VB, or translate it yourself to learn some of the C# syntax.

    or you can even purchase component from devcomponents
    they have what you need if you are lazy to creating your own controls
