I know that with some of the programs I use, when you click on an item to change it's color, the color dialog will actually show the current color and it's rgb value.

I'd like to do that in my application but can't find the answer on how you do it.

To change the backcolor on a textbox, the user double clicks the box and it shows the color dialog.

I think I have all the properties set right -- fully open to show custom colors etc.

BUT, it doesn't show the current color.

They all have 0 0 0 rgb.

THANKS for the help.
