dlgColor 1

[dplotts]

I'm trying to display the color dialog box to change the color of text in a label.

Using this code...

Private Sub mnuColor_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnuColor.Click

With dlgColor
.showDialog()
lblTotalPay.ForeColor = .color
End With
End Sub

I get an error that dlgColor isn't declared. What am I doing wrong?

For your code to work, the CommonDialog control would have to be embedded in your form, for example. But, that control is not supported in VB.NET; it has been replaced by these controls:

ColorDialog control
FontDialog control
OpenFileDialog control
PageSetupDialog control
PrintDialog control
PrintPreviewDialog control
SaveFileDialog control

In your case, you need the ColorDialog control. Drag and drop it from your toolbox.

Private Sub mnuColor_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnuColor.Click
With ColorDialog1
.ShowDialog()
Me.lblTotalPay.ForeColor = .Color
End With
End Sub

Works! And is same with your code
