extends CommonDialog

Remarks

Use the showDialog method to show the dialog box. Use the getColor method to get the color the user selected.

The following example opens a Color dialog box and sets the background color for the form to color the user selects:

private void btnColor_click(Object source, Event e)
{
	ColorDialog cd = new ColorDialog();
	cd.setAllowFullOpen(true); //enables the Define Custom Colors button
	cd.setColor(Color.RED);  //sets the color initially chosen in the dialog box to red
	int dlgResult = cd.showDialog();
	if (dlgResult == DialogResult.OK) {
		Color objColor = cd.getColor(); //gets the color the user chose
		this.setBackColor(objColor);  //sets the form background color to the chosen color
	}
}
