title: Dynamics AX Color Picker
body: <p>Trying to add a color picker to a field in Dynamics AX 2009.  Found an article providing some very simple steps for creating the color picker as a lookup, but I can't get it to work.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>When creating the extended data type, the FormHelp lookup doesn't include the function SysChooseColor, but it will accept the value if manually entered.</p></li>
  <li><p>After adding a field using my color picker data type, the form renders a string edit to the page with a lookup icon.  However, upon clicking the icon, the lookup window that appears is empty.  Tried with and without a valid color value (#AAAAAA) in the field.</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Here's the reference I started with: <a href="http://www.axaptapedia.com/Color_picker" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.axaptapedia.com/Color_picker</a></p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
