(About the author)

ColorPicker that Resembles Adobe PhotoShop ColorPicker. Replace Windows Old Color Dialog with this new Standard ColorPicker (ColorBox) in your application With More Controll over the ColorPicker. This was firstly written as reusable form, but here I'm presenting it as an Active-X Control so that any one can use it easily. Algorithms are fast and was written from scratch. I have tried as much as possible to make this Controll Bug free. Any suggestions, comments expecially Votes will appreciated. With New ColorChange Event which returns selected color Dynamically. small (Bug..? )Fixed.

Trying the new 2-21-2002 version.  
Everytime I use it my windows 2000 sp2 
latest security patches installed 
automatically reboots.  I can't debug 
it because it crashes too soon.  A 
couple of times my hard drive hangs and 
won't boot (forcing me to make 
emergency backups).  I know it's this 
source because in over a year, I've 
never had a problem and I'm up and 
running 24/7.  Plus, it doesn't happen 
until I run to source... and then click 
in the client area with either mouse 
button.  The older version works fine.  
This update crashes.  No votes until I 
can make it work.

I think the problem may with the Sample 
program. Open the control project and 
make the control as ocx. then test it 
with a new form.

i have the same problem from the post 
above "2/22/2002 1:03:24 AM:Shawn 
Bullock", but i did not tried the older 
version. When I run the source and 
clicked in client area, I got a 
blue-screen that machine reseted. So it 
not boot anymore. I had to restore my 
backup.

3/17/2002 11:51:08 PM:Matheus Moreira

Now i tried to compile the OCX and 
start a new project with it. Once 
again, when i call the Show method, the 
machine rebooted again. This time no 
need to restore my backup. 
I think 
you should review the OCX 
code.
Anyway, I will not try it again.

This is very nice. 5 Globes from me.

Sorry for the problem you faced, Please 
tell me about your system such as 
OS,RAM ,processor,Graphics Card etc and 
Mail it to me.
I uses both Windows 98 
and 
Windows 2000 in my computer. I 
have 
tested this control in both 
operating 
systems,I have not found 
any problems! So you please respond 
with this so 
that may I find the 
problem 
on my OCX.

There's a good chance these rebooting 
problems are because of the type of 
graphics card these guys are using and 
associated drivers. I've watched the 
same kind of comments occur when a new 
program comes out that does palette 
manipulation. Might want to start there.

this failed on my machine - windows XP 
as screen res of 1280 *1024

error in load saturation vartiant : KV
