Is there a one liner command code like the MSG command or do I need to contruct this...

a basic Font,Font style,Size,Script & sample window and a color palette window..

You can use the commondialog controls for that. You can add them to your projects using the projects>components menu. There select 'Microsoft Common Dialog Controls'. Add a button and a commondialogcontrol (i called it CDL) to the form. Then paste following code:
private Sub Command1_Click()
CDL.ShowColor
MsgBox "The selected color is: " & CDL.Color
CDL.ShowFont
MsgBox "The selected font is: " & CDL.FontName & " size " & CDL.FontSize
End Sub
Run the project, press the button. First the color dialog will pop up, after you selected a color, the font dialog will pop up.
