Hi friend_name,

I found a very nice and useful utility over the net. This is Absolute Color Picker ActiveX Control.

Absolute Color Picker ActiveX Control is an ActiveX component that includes two dialogs: color (MFC CColorDialog like) and gradient filling dialogs. It provides facilities to select from different color models like RGB(Red/Green/Blue), HSB (Hue/Saturation/Brightness), use unique mathematical algorithms (HSB Brightness, HSB Radial, HSB Hue, RGB 3D Sphere, HSB Hue2, HSP Pens, HSB Hexagons, HSB PalettesHH). As a great extension to standard color dialogs, Absolute Color Picker ActiveX allows you to set transparency level (alpha-channel) and edit color gradients.

Absolute Color Picker AcitveX Control is designed with simplicity in mind and could be easily integrated into most of contemporary IDEs (Intergated Development Environment) such as Microsoft Visual Studio .Net, Microsoft Visual Basic/C++, Boland Delphi, CBuilder etc. Extensive methods and properties description, code examples will help any level programmer to master it at zero-time thus saving a great amount of efforts on project development.

If you find it interesting you can find more information about it here: http://www.softinfinity.com.
