I am working on a custom module, and would like to include the ability to select a color for part of it.  I found the color settings module in the main project, and added it to the edit page for the module.  So far, so good.

However, when I attempt to read the selected color in my code-behind file, I am unable to do so.  From looking at the code for the ColorSetting control, it looks like I should be able to write something like this (where MyColorPicker is the ID of the ColorSetting control on the form):
string color = MyColorPicker.GetValue();

However, this doesn't work, as GetValue cannot even be found when I try to compile the code-behind.  Using ToString() allows everything to compile, but doesn't seem to contain the value I want.

So given this, I am stumped as to how to do two things:

1) Read in the selected color from the ColorSetting control, so I can store it in the Module Settings for my module.

2) Once I've stored a selected color in the Module Settings, make that color be initially selected when I go to the edit page for my module.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Ah!  That did the trick!

However, I'm now seeing another problem.  My edit page has the little box you click to bring up the color picker, but when you click on it, the box it brings up is empty, rather than containing controls to pick a color.  I can enter hex values manually, and these are read fine, and this will cause the box to change to the color I enter, but nothing ever appears in the popup box.

JavaScript is enabled on the browser I am testing on.  I'm building from the latest version of the source code, although my skin files may be out of date. Any ideas how to get the color picker to actually show up?
