choose color dialog

ARC
Hello all,

In my access 2007 app, I'm using the code for fonts/colors that I believe I
found years ago on the accessweb.net site. Problem is, calling the color
picker is opening the very old style color chooser (looks to be the access
97 color palette and style). How do you get the 'choose color' function to
open the more modern / access 2007 color picker and dialog style? Here's the
declare function:

Private Declare Function ChooseColor _
Lib "comdlg32.d ll" Alias "ChooseColo rA" _
(pChoosecolor As COLORSTRUC) As Long

I checked out the file date of comdlg32.dll and it's in May 2008, Version
6.0.6000..., so no problem there I think. Is there maybe something to change
in the above declare function line that will launch the more modern color
picker?

Thanks!

Andy

Hi! Why can't I choose location of the .h/.cpp files in the class wizard? If I try to place them under a directory in the source tree then I need to select an existing file! Why can't I just choose a different directory? The file should be created automatically. 7.1.3088 -- Daniel

Hi, I'm asking for help because I read dozens of threads on this subject, but I still cannot make it work. I'm developing an ASP script (running on a SBS 2k. I'm a beginner with ASP) to use on our intranet which does searching on our file server using Indexing Services. To let the users specify the scope (from which file-server folder start to search) I need to display on client pc's (Win 2k or Win XP Pro) a "choose folder" dialog.

Hello I wrote a little script (that will be used only under Windows if at all) where the user should choose a directory and the script will then process some data files in the directory and write the result there. To make it a bit more pleasant, it would be nice if the directory were chosen by the standard win directory chooser. When the script is done, it could open the the directory, so that the user can check the results. How to do...

A2003 Most of the time, in past apps, my report routines are usually a preview first and then DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPrint for the printer dialog. However, I'm now faced with wanting to send a report to a printer of choice withoutthe preview. I'm aware of Albert Kallal's snippet of code that allows you to change the default printer, but I'm wondering if there's any other way?

hello how do i create a dialog to allow the user to choose a folder? i tried FolderBrowserDialog but encountered a couple of problems: - when you specify the starting location (property RootFolder) you have to supply a constant such as MyComputer, you're not allowed to supply a literal value such as "C:\path\to\whatever". - once you specify the RootFolder, the user isn't allowed to navigate any higher than that in the directory tree.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
