Is there a way to get the font colour on the colour picker? I like the fact that it picks up the appropriate font colour automatically depending on what colour is picked :)

Alternatively... If anyone knows the correct colour number to switch from Black to White, then that'd be just as good :)

D'OH, didn't have email notification on...

The CJ Colour picker will change the font colour from black to white when it's a certain darkness of colour. I want to essentially grab the font colour from the picker to use elsewhere but as I can't see how to do that, I think it might be something based on a certain darkness of colour before it changes the font from black to white, and that's what I'm after :)

... unless we can grab the font colour from the colour picker? :D

Hi,
 
OK, now I know what you mean LOL
 
I don't see how to get the ForeColor from the ColorPicker control. The font object isn't returning color either. Maybe CJ can shed a light on this Wink Would be nice though if a label or text automatically changes the forecolor when selecting a dark color from ColorPicker.
 
Good luck !

Worked it out now as I got put under pressure to sort it out! Kind of obvious now I think about it LOL..

Private Function Get_ForeColour(ByVal lngBackColour As Long) As Long
    If lngBackColour > RGB(128, 128, 128) Then
        Get_ForeColour = vbBlack
    Else
        Get_ForeColour = vbWhite
    End If
End Function


Would be easier to just grab it from the control though... Wink... put in the option CJ :)

Hi,
 
It sounded almost to good to be true Wink
 
Try to pick some light green color...
 
 
 
Foreground will be white but the ColorPicker foreground is still black (as it should be)
 
But in most cases, you are right Wink
