I only found three types of dialog in gVim: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>:let n = inputdialog("value for shiftwidth", &sw) :call confirm("Save changes?", "&Yes\n&No\n&Cancel") :browse e </code></pre> Can I write a GUI Dialog, such as a ColorPick-Dialog to choose RGB value? Does gVim support custom GUI widget?

No, it is not possible. However you can make up your own DLL and <code>libcall()</code>. If your library must return a string (pointer to a zero-terminated array of characters) it will leak.
