Application.ActivePalette property

Returns the reference to the currently active palette

Syntax:

Property Get ActivePalette() As Palette

Remarks:

The ActivePalette property returns a read-only value that is associated with the current color palette. Although Corel PHOTO-PAINT has several color palettes, the active palette is the palette that is currently in use.

A color palette (or Palette object) is a collection of solid colors. You can use standard color collections (such as the Uniform color palette), customizable color palettes that you create and arrange, or color-matching systems (such as the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM).

Examples:

The following VBA example displays, in a message box, the name of the default palette and the number of colors in that palette.

Sub PaletteActive()
  MsgBox "The default color palette is: " & ActivePalette.Name _
    & "It contains " & ActivePalette.ColorCount & " colors."
End Sub
