Use Color Dialog To Return Color As String?

Jun 11, 2011

How can i use the color dialogue to return the color selected as a string? So if i was to select red i would like the return to be "Red" and so on so fourth.Another thing i would like to ask is if it is possible to return the color selected as a string in hex color code form (like what is used in HTML for example #FFFFFF, #000000 and so on so fourth).I have a feeling though that it can only be returned as R G B integers but maybe there is a way of converting these to hex color codes?

Control Datagridview Selected Row Color And Selected Cell Color?

Jan 16, 2010

I want to have my current row stand out as the current row by virtue of the background color.I also want my current cell stand out from the row color.

in other words i want to controll the background of the current cell as well as the current row, and have these colors different from each other as wel as the background from the non current cells.

I am getting confused with the notion of the current row vs the selected row.I have tried messing with the default row style.selectedbackgroungcolor as well as the same for the default cell style, but cant get it to work the way i want.

i can almost get it if i set the selection mode to full row, but then cannot get the current cell to have a different background color.

VS 2008 Background Of Form To Be The Same Color As The Window Frame Color That The User Selects

Jun 19, 2009

I want the background of my form to be the same color as the window frame color that the user selects, even if that changes. I selected System->WindowFrame as my background color, but it always remains a dark grey, regardless of what I have my window color set to. How else would I achieve what I want? I assumed I was doing it the correct way. Do I actually need code that gets the system window color and then apply it?

Color Array Quantizer - Custom Colors And Are Not A Standard 256 Color Palette

Mar 23, 2012

I have a array of pixels. And I would like to Quantize them.

For Example

FF00FF,00FFFF stuff like that, but most are custom colors and are not a standard 256 color palette. So I need code to convert a color to a 256 color. I dont have any idea on how to do this, but thats why I came here. I do not want to use System.Graphics.Image.Palette or anything like that as this project uses arrays for images. I would like to if at all possible be able to convert a R, G, B color to 8bit, 16bit, 256bit and possibly use the HSL or NeuQuant method or something close to that, or maybe even some other methods of doing it. I do need to be able to do this for a single pixel, but I will also need a method for a array of them.

[2005] Color Dialog -- Show Current Color?

Jan 15, 2009

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.
