Hello everybody!

Im programming in BP 7.0 under W95 and tried to open the Color-Dialog from
the Commdlg.dll. I use then record TChooseColor from the commdlg-unit and
the function ChooseColor.
To my surprise I get a General Protection Fault in Module Commdlg.dll at
0006:0001e92.
Can anybody tell me how to use this dialog the right way?

Thanks

Hi

First of all - check out the sample program that comes with BP (it's
in the directory examples\win31\commdlg). I simply copied that code
and modified it to fit my needs.

Before you call ChooseColor you must fill some fields of the
TChooseColor record. My code looks something like this:

var
  ChooseClr : TChooseColor;

with ChooseClr do
begin
  lstructSize := SizeOf(TChooseColor);
  hwndOwner := HWindow;
  rgbResult := MyColor;
  lpCustColors := @CustColors;
  Flags := cc_FullOpen or cc_RGBInit;
end;
if not ChooseColor(ChooseClr) then Exit;

CustColors is an array [0..15] of Longint, specifying the custom
colors. MyColor is a Longint (or TColorRef).

The code above works in both Win31 and Win95. Hope this is of some
help.

Sincerely, H?kan M?ller
