Color Palette

Hello all, How can I call up a color pallet in VB and is it easy to use?

Like the attached file maybe? Remember to reference the common dialog control.

The link above no longer works. How do you add the color pallet to VB6?

Welcome to the forums. :wave:

Use the .ShowColor method of the CommonDialog control

VB Code:

Private Sub cmdShowColor_Click
CommonDialog1.ShowColor
End Sub

You will need, of course, to add a common dialog control to the form you want to run this on.

Have you noticed that this thread is 4 years old? :lol: Try this to actually retrieve the color:

VB Code:

On Error GoTo ErrorHandeler
 
    Dim someColor As Long
    
        With CommonDialog1
            .CancelError = True
            .ShowColor
                someColor = .Color
                    Me.BackColor = someColor
        End With
 
            Exit Sub
