[tobibo]

is it possible (if how?) to get the vw color palette as a selection in an userinterface insted of the system color??(i am creating classes with vs and want the user to select the fillcolor and pen color)

I will guess the VW color palette is a resource file. You must then track the file and use it on the interface.

You could as well create your own resource file and then your own color palette (a second dialog): he shouldn't be so hard... is just a series of numbers corresponding to RGB values.

A old tread that talking about colors (RGB dialog): http://techboard.nemetschek.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=20;t=000997

I was just fooling around and wanted to know what happens when using an index greater than 3 for dialog control items...and it look sas if <4> gives you a colorselect button as in the attribute window, opening the vw color palette...unfourtunatly after selecting a color vw crashes...does anybody have any experience with these undocumented control items??
