MMColor_ShowColorSpaceSlider

Description

This function will bring up a dialog with 3 to 4 Sliders (depending on the Color Space) allowing the user to manipulate the sliders or type in literal values to get the exact color they want. The function then returns that color as a HexColor. The optional AttachToObject parameter will allow you to attach the Slider dialog to an object on your Layout in much the same way a Drop Down List can be attached to a field.
