ColorSelectionDialog - API Error, or am I doing it wrong?

[orosztamas]

When I click cancel on an API called ColorSelectionDialog, I get RGB(0,0,0) color as "SelectedColor" property, when I would expect nothing. (It is also RGB(0,0,0), if I select a color, then I hit Cancel)l Am I doing it wrong, or is this the expected behavior?

TheColorSelectionDialog.Show method returns an ItemSelectionDialogResult object that enables you to determine whether the dialogue was cancelled or confirmed:

• Confirmed -- The user selected one or more item(s) from the prompted dialog and confirmed the selection. The selected item(s) are available from the dialog interfaces.
• Canceled -- The user canceled the prompted dialog. No selected item(s) are available from the dialog interfaces.

Does that not solve the problem you describe?

I just received an answer from @jeremytammik  ❤️ ❤️ 😄 😄

Yes, thank you! I wasn't aware of the returned object. This solved my problem.

Thank you for your appreciation.

Well, a quick look at the documentation can save you hours of work and frustration.

And others, as well.

Please take heed.
