child window

Maybe is this not the right topic here.
I am working on a program that need to open a child window.
How does it works in Blitz3D so i can draw in that child window.
My program is setup to work as a window. I am now on a point that i need the child window to make settings for the program. Color settings, font settings and file location.

You could use winblitz3d, this enables direct access to the windows api for creating windows\gadgets. Color requester, font requester and file requester are all available.

Thats my problem i want to do it by using the API call directly. So i do not have to use another DLL. Only the DLL that is already in the system.

Instead of a child window... create a 2d quad.

What i want to do is actualy opening the color windows that is the same as in paint.
Is there a API call dor in the DLL files and how do i do that.

You could get a color dialog using ChooseColorA in comdlg32.dll. However, you need to pass a struct to it, i mean a set of parameters via bank, so it might not be easy.
Here is how you do this in VB:

Thanks for the tip.I look at the file and try to find out how to pass the struct. Come back later if i find the solution.
