ColorRequester()

Syntax

Color = ColorRequester([CurrentColor])

Opens the standard requester to choose a color. The chosen color is returned under a 24-bit number containing the red, green and blue value, as usual.

Parameters

CurrentColor (optional)

Sets the default color when the requester is opened. RGB() can be used to get a valid color.

Return value

The selected color, or -1 if the user canceled the requester. To easily get each RGB component value, Red(), Green() and Blue() can be used.

Example

  Color = ColorRequester()
  If Color > -1
    a$ = "You have selected following color value:" + Chr(10)  ; Chr(10) only needed
    a$ + "24 Bit value: " + Str(Color)              + Chr(10)  ; for line-feed
    a$ + "Red value:    " + Str(Red(Color))         + Chr(10)
    a$ + "Green value:  " + Str(Green(Color))       + Chr(10)
    a$ + "Blue value:   " + Str(Blue(Color))
  Else  
    a$ = "The requester was canceled."
  EndIf
  MessageRequester("Information", a$, 0)
  End
