Palette.Type property

Gets whether or not a color palette is custom or fixed

Syntax:

Property Get Type() As cdrPaletteType

Remarks:

The Type property returns whether a palette is a custom palette (for example, a CorelDRAW palette or any user-created palette) or a fixed palette (for example, PANTONE, Netscape, TOYO, or FOCOLTONE).

The Type property returns a read-only value, cdrPaletteType.

Examples:

The following VBA example displays the total number of palettes that are open, as well as the number of fixed and custom palettes.

Sub Test()
  Dim fx As Long, cs As Long
  Dim pal As Palette
  fx = 0
  cs = 0
  For Each pal In Palettes
    Select Case pal.Type
      Case cdrFixedPalette
        fx = fx + 1
      Case cdrCustomPalette
        cs = cs + 1
    End Select
  Next pal
  MsgBox "Total palettes open: " & Palettes.Count & vbCr & _
    "Fixed palettes: " & fx & vbCr & _
    "Custom palettes: " & cs
End Sub
