Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for. However, I would like the
entire Color Dialog form to be displayed on open (as if the "Define Custom
Colors" button had already been clicked). I think I need to set the
CC_FULLOPEN flag instead of the CC_SOLIDCOLOR flag in order to do this. Can
you tell me how to declare it?

Also, is there any way to specify where on the screen the Color Dialog
appears when it is opened?
