View 2 RepliesI 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?

View 2 RepliesI 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.

I have a simple program that runs in the background and when the user presses a certain key will take a printscreen and pop up a save file dialog to save an image. But sometimes the save dialog is not appearing because it loads buried under other pre-existing windows, which have to be minimized in order to find it. Is there any way to force this dialog to be on top?
