Hi,

I am working on a Windows Form using VB.Net wherein I require to give the user an option to select a color from a color Palette and after the color is selected by the user , the color code of the selected color gets stored in the database. Can anyone suggest how to incorporate a color palette in a form and the related coding tips.


Cheers,
Monica

Hi Monica

In VB there is a color dialog box that works like all the other dialog boxes. you should be able to retrieve the selected color once the user has selected a color and store this value in the database. the value is more likely to be in hexidecimal format, though this could be converted if required.

Hop this helps

Hi Monica,

if you need source, here you go

1) open windows form in vb.net
2) add colordiaglog control from the toolbar
3) add following script in the form

ColorDialog1.Color = TextBox1.BackColor
ColorDialog1.AllowFullOpen = True
ColorDialog1.ShowDialog()
TextBox1.BackColor = ColorDialog1.Color

4) so you should be able to select color and store it in the database
5) after following above steps, if you get errors let me know

good luck

Thanx guys..it helped!
