where find a 'color comboBox' as used in Visio?

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm developping a windows forms app in C#, and i wanted to use 'color
combobox box'.

This control is used in Visio:
Tools > options > view > color settings

Is this control a standard control?
where/how can i find it?

Thanks for your help

I don't have visio handy righ now so I'm not sure what you are looking for.
If you want to change the background color or the text color just use the
BackColor / ForeColor properties.

I don't know Visio's color combobox, but take a look here:

Hi jhs,

The color comboBox in Visio is actually just a button with a custom drawn surface. Clicking it will call up a separate Color picking window that will be closed when you either click the button or the button receives a leave event.

I don't know where to find such a control, but somewhere in the archives of the C# group on this news server there should be some code showing how to create a combobox which lists all web colors (in color) and shows the currently selected color. Maybe you could work on that to get what you want.
