Str255 promptString);

thePicker

A color picker.

promptString

A text string prompting the user to choose a color for a particular use (for example, "Choose a highlight color:").

DISCUSSION

The SetPickerPrompt function sets the dialog box for the color picker specified in the parameter thePicker to display the prompt supplied in the promptString parameter.

To set the prompt for a standard, modal dialog box, use the prompt field of the color picker parameter block (page 2-20).
