Using ColorDialog In Windows Forms

Introduction

This blog is helpful for changing runtime color in Windows Forms for any control.

For Example: textbox, button, panel, label, etc.

Using the control

• Open Visual Studio 2013 and create New Project in Visual C# under Windows.
  
  
  
  
• One form is already open in your project.
  
  
  
  
• You should add colordialog control in toolbox (just double click on colordialog).
  
  
  
  
• Now you add whatever control you need from Toolbox .
  
  
  
  
• I have added all controls like the following pic,
  
  

• On double click of select color button, you will jump to code behind.
  
  
  
  
• Write the code,
  
  
  
  
• First you call colordialog1 control when you press button.
  
• Run your project.
  
• Once I click select color button, color window should appear and select any color from the color window.
  
  
  
  
• Selected color is applied for all the control.
  
  
  
  
• I have shown the textbox what color you have selected and applied the color.
