Color ComboBox In vb

Now I am going through a project with colors. And then I think that if I try to display color values with their names in a simple combobox, it could be amazing. I tried and did it and it is looking like

And

And finally the project looks like

In that codes, firstly I tried to bind combobox with colors.

 Private Sub BindWebColors()
        'binding combobox with color vaues

        'assign combobox drawmode
        cmbWebColor.DrawMode = DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed
        cmbWebColor.ItemHeight = 20

        Dim colType As Type = GetType(System.Drawing.Color)

        For Each prop As PropertyInfo In colType.GetProperties()
            If prop.PropertyType Is GetType(System.Drawing.Color) Then
                cmbWebColor.Items.Add(prop.Name)
            End If
        Next
    End Sub

When a color value is added to the combobox, it fires the DrawItem event.

Private Sub cmbWebColor_DrawItem(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs) Handles cmbWebColor.DrawItem
        'Drawing the itemsinto the combobox.
        'Every time it fires when an item is drawn to the combobox.

        'exit if there is no item
        If e.Index = -1 Then
            Exit Sub
        End If


        'declare a colorbrush
        Dim colBrush As Brush = New SolidBrush(Color.FromName(DirectCast(cmbWebColor.Items(e.Index), String)))

        'Drawing rectangles for the color values
        e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(New Pen(Brushes.Black), e.Bounds.Left + 2, e.Bounds.Top + 2, 30, e.Bounds.Height - 5)
        e.Graphics.FillRectangle(colBrush, e.Bounds.Left + 3, e.Bounds.Top + 3, 29, e.Bounds.Height - 6)

        'Draw the name of the color
        e.Graphics.DrawString(DirectCast(cmbWebColor.Items(e.Index), String), cmbWebColor.Font, Brushes.Black, 35, e.Bounds.Top + 2)

    End Sub

Samely I did for the system colors

 Private Sub BindSysColors()
        'binding combobox with systemcolor vaues

        'assign combobox drawmode
        cmbSysColor.DrawMode = DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed
        cmbSysColor.ItemHeight = 20


        Dim sysType As Type = GetType(System.Drawing.SystemColors)


        For Each prop As PropertyInfo In sysType.GetProperties()
            If prop.PropertyType Is GetType(System.Drawing.Color) Then
                cmbSysColor.Items.Add(prop.Name)
            End If
        Next
    End Sub

And draw the item for system colors

Private Sub cmbSysColor_DrawItem(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs) Handles cmbSysColor.DrawItem
        'Drawing the itemsinto the combobox.

        'exit if there is no item
        If e.Index = -1 Then
            Exit Sub
        End If


        'declare a colorbrush
        Dim sysBrush As Brush = New SolidBrush(Color.FromName(DirectCast(cmbSysColor.Items(e.Index), String)))

        'Drawing rectangles for the color values
        e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(New Pen(Brushes.Black), e.Bounds.Left + 2, e.Bounds.Top + 2, 30, e.Bounds.Height - 5)
        e.Graphics.FillRectangle(sysBrush, e.Bounds.Left + 3, e.Bounds.Top + 3, 29, e.Bounds.Height - 6)

        'Draw the name of the color
        e.Graphics.DrawString(DirectCast(cmbSysColor.Items(e.Index), String), cmbSysColor.Font, Brushes.Black, 35, e.Bounds.Top + 2)

    End Sub

Now you can call the SelectionChanged Event for the comboboxes to change the forecolor/backcolor of an object. Here I took a Label Control to change its Forecolor.

Private Sub cmbColors_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmbWebColor.SelectedIndexChanged, cmbSysColor.SelectedIndexChanged

        Dim cmb As ComboBox = CType(sender, ComboBox)

        Label1.ForeColor = Color.FromName(cmb.Items(cmb.SelectedIndex))
End Sub

And it changes the Forecolor of the label.

The total code samples are follows.
