OPEN COLOR PICKER

OPEN COLOR PICKER {( textOrBackground )}

ParameterTypeDescription
textOrBackgroundInteger0 or omitted = text color, 1 = text background color

This command is not thread-safe, it cannot be used in preemptive code.

Description

The OPEN COLOR PICKER command displays the system color picker dialog box.

Note: This is a modal dialog box under Windows but not under OS X.

When the user selects a color and validates the dialog box, this color is applied to the current text selection in the object with the focus, if the "Allow Font/Color Picker" property is checked for this object (see the Design Reference manual).

If you pass 0 in the textOrBackground parameter or omit this parameter, the selected color is applied to the text. If you pass 1 in textOrBackground, this color is applied to the text background.

If the color was changed, the On After Edit form event is generated for the object.
