Color Dialog

[Harry Hudini]

In VS2003, if i choose Add/Remove toolbox items, there is a ColorDialog
ticked. However, no colordialog appears in the toolbox. Which is a pity, as
thats just what im looking for.

Does anyone know why this is, or how i go about using the colordialog ?

I imagine that you're seeing the desktop's color dialog control which you
will not be able to use in your application. However, you can get one that
will work in your app here:

The colordialog you see listed is for the full .NET framework - there isn't
a ColorDialog built into the Compact Framework, however it is supported on
many Windows CE platforms. You'll find a ColorDialog implementation in the
Smart Device Framework at www.opennetcf.org/sdf/ (although there is a bug in
the current v1.1 release which prevents it from working). You can still get
the original control from which the OpenNETCF one is derived here:-
