Solution

  • You just need to get the color selected by the user and convert this into the appropriate brush:

        Dim userColor As Color = Color.Black 'set to a default color
    Using dlg As New ColorDialog
        dlg.Color = userColor
        If dlg.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            'user selected something (and clicked ok)
            userColor = dlg.Color
        End If
    End Using

    Using userBrush As New SolidBrush(userColor)
        'use the brush here
    End Using
