Is it possible to embed a dialog in a Form?

[Ed Ferrero]

I am currently using
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogEditColor).Show
to show the built-in dialog colour picker.

Is this available as a component that I can embed in a form?
Would there be any licencing issues?

It isn't a component. It also doesn't operate as a component, so you can
not query it for the users selection, even when called independently. It
fuctions as if the menu item associated with it were picked.

Thanks Tom,

That's saved me from wasting time looking. I might just build my own colour
wheel and be done with it.

If you mean with a userform, John Walkenbach has one:

if you are using the API, the common dialog control has a color picker mode.
