Active X Control for Color Palette

[benwah]

Hi all

Does anyone know of an axtive X control that would display a color pallete (similar to Color Builder) so that the user can choose a color on the fly?

At the moment I have the user enter the number code into a text box to change color properties but that isnt very user friendly....

Thanks

Try placing a CommonDialog control on the form. You can then call this from a button click event like this:

MyCommonDialog.ShowColor

return your color value chosen by the user like this:

MyCommonDialog.Value = MyColorCode

You can then use this value to do what you want with.

Thanks for the quick response.

Is this an access 2000 thing because ShowColor doesnt seem to work in 97. Or maybe I'm on totally the wrong track!
