Yes, I want to use the CColorDialog in my program, but this useless thing only allows to be used as a Modal Dialog. Any Ideas how to extend functionality to non-Modal would be appreciated. NextS

oooooooh, MFC question...

I usually use the modal version, but my guess is to just derive a custom class from CColorDialog and modify that. Same goes with CFileDialog, etc., when you wish to modify them.

Yeah, I read something about Dialog templates...

But how do I use them ?

You don''t need to create a dialog template (altough if you''re in MFC and you don''t know what they are, you need to find out, kwik! ), just derive a new class from CColorDialog and override some virtual functions, etc.

Just goto the option to create a new MFC class, and where is asks you what class to derive from, just pick CColorDialog. I never really had to override CColorDialog or any predifines dialog template classes, so im afraid i can''t give you any more specific information.

Drop by www.codeguru.com they have several examples of different types of color dialogs, complete with source.
