Form Colors

[Guest]

Under a new rulling for the seeing impared we are going to soon be required
to allow the users to select screen colors and font colors. I have no idea
how to present the code to do this. My thought is to open a FORM called
Select Screen Color and Font Color and possibly size too. Not sure on sizes
as yet.

Using command buttons with the color displayed next to it would be the best
process for the user then they could just click on the button and change the
screen colors on all the forms they used. The Global Variable name is
Global.UserScreenColor and would be accessed ON OPENING each form to set the
correct color.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and Thanks in Advance the newsgroup
is great.....

Terry Kreft and Stephen Lebans wrote some code to use the color picker api,
which is available in several of Stephen's demo apps. One of those apps is
here:

You will need to change the calling code to open the form in Design View to
make the changes, then save it. Otherwise the changes will need to be made
and saved for each session.
