How can I select the color of my pen using the color dialog box?
I tried:
If ColorDialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK
Then
Dim MyPen As New Pen(Color.ColorDialog1.Color, 1)
end if
but I get error:colordialog1 is not member of system.drawing.color
I have a question of VB event handler and color picker. Now I have a label, and I want when user click it, it pops up a color picker dialog and let user to change the background color of the label. Not sure how to implement this, can anyone give me a direction?
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.
Why isn't this working? The color dialog comes up, but when you choose a color and click 'OK', nothing changes.
Code:
Private Sub ColorBtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ColorBtn.Click
Dim NewColor As New Color

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?

I have a small project that requires me to have a font dialog, a color dialog and a print dialog. It has four text boxes that are formatted based on the font from the dialog and the color from the other dialog. I am to print it all out with the same font and color. I have easily put the font in the right place and have the rest of the print set up, but the DrawString wants Brushes.<color> for it's color. How do I make it the same color as in the text boxes? I am not trying to get you to do my HW for me, but everything I see online is the brushes or shapes... if you could suggest something to look into that would be great, but I doubt my grade would be much affected by my printing everything with Brushes.Black like everyone else in the world seems to be doing...

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?
View 4 RepliesI 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.

We take as example Microsoft Windows Excel (doesn't matter which version). You know we can select cells in excel but I don't need cells to be selected. I want a location in a color (red) when I select with my mouse. (not when I click or do something else; it's like selecting on desktop in windows). So like I said it has to color in red the region I select on the picture (doesn't matter which picture, I was actually going to use a map of a city as background) set as background in a PictureBox or something else if it's better.
