if (colorDialog1.ShowDialog () == DialogResult.OK) {

button2.BackColor = colorDialog1.Color; }

What type and how to assign a variable to the color selected in ColorDialog, then to use for the brush color (which is drawn using small ellipses).

The color of the brush is set when it is created (passed to the constructor). If you need to change the color of the brush, destroy the old one ( Dispose() ) and create a new one by passing a new color to the constructor.

  • @Flammable, the most likely question was to pass the desired color from ColorDialog to the brush constructor by assigning it to a variable. - Emil Sabitov

  • ... "to pass the desired color from ColorDialog to the brush constructor by assigning it to a variable." exactly. - AlekMalek
  • @Flammable, smiled :) Yes: SolidBrush myBrush = new SolidBrush (Color.Red); Instead of Color.Red, you need to use a variable that stores the selected color from ColorDialog. Here's how to save color in this variable)? - Emil Sabitov
  • And where is the problem? var selectedColor = ColorDialog1.Color; var brush = new SolidBrush (selectedColor); - nitrocaster
 private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { ColorDialog MyDialog = new ColorDialog(); //Меняет цвет текста в текстбоксе if (MyDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) textBox1.ForeColor = MyDialog.Color; }

I think this is what you need. Try using this method. Based on this, the brush can be assigned the value MyDialog.Color.
