The 16 names used by MS in their Font common dialog are well established and
don't seem arbitrary to me. Remember I am rolling my own dialog for fonts and
Windows users have been seeing these same color names for years.

I would love to have the color bars in my combobox but owner drawing Codejock
themed controls could be a headache with no help from Codejock.

I Googled and Googled and it seems that VB6 means .net to Google. Trying to get
a color picker in the context of being within the Font dialog and not a full
blown color dialog doesn't leave much to pick from either. Plus I wasn't looking
for a code sample - just wanted info on what the difference is between QBColor
names and the names used in font dialogs which is now resolved.

Anyway my custom dialog is now working just the way I like it (minus the bonus
color bars).

Actually it seems that newer versions of their controls support this but license
renewal is expensive for that one missing feature.

   I don't know anything about Codejock, but I know
there are samples around for drawing colors in listboxes.
I use code like that myself to put a colored block on
the left of each item and shift the text over. One
just has to trap the WM_DRAWITEM message and then
draw the item content "by hand". It may be that under
the hood the Codejock control is using a Windows window
that you can do that with.

I'll play with that and see its doable.
