ColourDialog - Learn To Code - PlayBASIC Documentation

ColourDialog

SelectColour = ColourDialog([CustomColour])

Parameters:

[CustomColour] = Optional custom colour

Returns:

SelectColour= The colour the user selected/created

ColourDialog opens a windows colour selection dialog. The dialog allows the user to pick and create a palette of 16 custom colours in RGB format. You can set and read the colour dialogs internal palette using the SetColourDialogColour() and GetColourDialogColour() functions.

FACTS:

      * The ColourDialog returns a -1 value when the user selects cancel.

      * The ColourDialog returns colours in RGB format (24bit).

      * ColourDialog is not asynchronous, so the PlayBasic application will halt while the dialog is open.
