    ColourPicker [vbRichClient]

    Replacement/alternative to the CommonDialog colour picker, requires a reference to Olaf's vbRichClient5.dll.

    Might have implemented this differently (i.e. fully RC5 widget-ified) but I was in a bit of a hurry. As it stands it's a dll that offers up a form containing a UserControl. Based on a minimalistic version of the same thing posted by Olaf some time ago.

    Requested here:

    You can use the keys R, G, B, H, L and S to increment the corresponding values or with Shift down to decrement them.

    UPDATE: Fixed the issue reported in Post #5. Also, added optional X,Y params to position the dialog

    Wonderful. I've been thinking about using vbRichClient to develop a chart control, but always have no time to really implement it. Thank you for making such a beautiful control.

    Edit: I think it will be better that the Color-Picker appears in the lower right of the Form1 every time.

    When clicking a place of yoke, the yoke is rotating a bit. It make me not comfortable (heart fast bouncing). Is it normal behavior (i think the yoke trying to center)? Can you make it fix? The yoke can only be rotated when mouse move the handle.

    Hi Jonney. I understand what you mean (I think). I'll look into it when I have some free time...

    Something quite different to other color pickers. Many thanks.
