From: Bee on 16 Feb 2010 20:50 I have seen where I can get the position of an open window. Then I can dock my form based on that. I gues a timer can track it. Maybe easier that monitoring messages. I am adding a sliver beneath the color dialog to allow direct selection of web safe colors. i.e. named colors. All I need to do is close the other window if the user selects OK or cancel on either window. My form can use withevents to register the selection from that window. If none, then the COlor Dialog value will be used. Make sense? Innovate.

There is no simple solution that would look professional, or flicker-free. What you want to do, if I understand correctly, is mimic those who customize some dialogs, such as adding a print preview window to the Print dialog. To do that, subclassing or hooking is required, and a lot of code. Try searching the web or groups for "vb WM_INITDIALOG color dialog". |
