Access Color Sample Tool from Macro/Visual Basic?

Hi Mike.

After declaring your object reference for a color, and setting it, you can use UserAssign

Like this:

Dim col as New Color

col.UserAssign

Other than that we haven't got the cool eyedropper feature for vba yet, even though we've asked a million times. You'll have to do it directly using WinAPI.

Hi Sub GDG_John( ),
This thread is from years ago, and i hope you are still active on the forum.

So the release of the eyedropper is here.... and i was wondering if you ever gave this a go again?

" b = ActiveDocument.GetUserClick(x, y, Shift, 10, False, cdrCursorEyeDrop)"

I am racking my brand with this....

I have managed to pull the CMYK values from a filled object; and then i can create a textbox next to this with the given CMYK from the "userclick" x, y co-ordinates but I cannot figure out how to sample directly from a bitmap / image.

If you have some insight on this it would be great it you could share!

Thanks.
Keith.

Have you tried using the Document.SampleColorAtPoint method?

After using GetUserClick to get x,y coordinates of a point?
