The unit COLSEL contains a Delphi™ visual component which supports the selection of a color from the predefined Windows system colors. The component TColSel is basically a modified combo box showing the available colors both by a colored rectangle and the corresponding system name. In addition, the user may specify a user defined color, which is displayed along with the system colors. The figure to the left shows a sample of the color select box. More details can be found in the online help pages.

The unit COLSEL is part of the SDL Component Suite.
