Using ColorBook color in grid cells using style 31

[Fred Tomke]

Hello,

I do remember that we already discussed this  but I cannot find it anymore: If I select a new color using the color selector from a colorbook, the selected color is shown in the preview of the grid cell. Do I set the CellText ColorBookName$ColorName the preview of the grid cell stays black. What do I have to do that the real color of the colorbook color is shown in the preview of the cell? Maybe I can give something like an OleColor value to show in the preview. I hope you can see it from the video, what I mean...

Is it correct that the event BeginLabelEdit is only fired after the color selector was finished by OK?

The code displays a color book color based on the cell text if the cell image is -2, so for your preview, save the cell image as well as the cell text. The timing of BeginLabelEdit depends on the EventInvoke property.

Owen, thanks for your reply. That is really bad: in the German help file for SetCellImages I have already described that case. Shame on me that I've forgotten.
