Hi All

WebDev 23 - Dynamic site.

Any easy, nice way to allow a user to pick a colour either from a pallete or from a preset list of colours (e.g. the WB colour constants) ?

Thanks

Hi JP

I did that a few years back with a cell and a series of boutons, each of the color to select... Took me a good 10 minutes.

Easy enough?

Best regards

Fabrice,

OK, sure - I was just checking there was no easy colour picker like in WinDev :)

However, using a cell and some coloured buttons is fine but how do I return the colour selected back to the calling routine so that it can process the colour selected?

Hi,

in the click of button code you set the chosen color in your result variable... But that is clearly too simple to be the answer to the REAL question that I didn't understand... :-(

Best regards

Hello JP,

I do this with 3 sliders set from 1 to 255. (red,green and blue)
Then I have 3 edit controls to show the numbers EDT_Red , EDT_Green and EDT_blue.
Last I have a cell that I change the background color if the user changes the slider of types in a number in the edit controls

On the slider code for red slider
EDT_Red = MySelf lp_SetColor()
Code for any of the color edit controls
lp_SetColor()

PROCEDURE lp_SetColor() //Calulates the color CELL_Color..BrushColor = RGB(EDT_Red,EDT_Green,EDT_Blue) //This is a edit field hidden for me only that shows the color hex EDT_Color_Hex = 65536 * EDT_Blue + 256 * EDT_Green + EDT_Red

:) lol - I understand how to retrieve brushcolor and all that. My problem is a design / operational desire rather than a technical issue. I want to let the user choose a colour and, when he does so, it updates the button brushcolor which was used for selecting the colour picker and then auto update a chart with the selected colour. I have worked out a working solution using the cell option you suggested. Thanks!

Thanks, a nice solution. I wonder also if one could display a colour chart (like in WinDev colour selector) and then reocrd the X,Y coordinates of a mouse click and figure out the colour of the pixel clicked on... :) But anyway, I got a working solution but might give your suggestion a go too.

Thanks!

Hi JP,

Not out of the box, but it's a few minutes work to create a little multi-column looper, that only contains a 16 x 16 sized button. The button has a style without border/background.
In the looper you use an Attribute for the returned color and to set the background color of the button.

The click of a button returns the color.
I use the following code to offer some basic colors:
LooperAddLine(LOOP_Color,RGB(148,148,148)) FOR i=65 TO 215 STEP 75 LooperAddLine(LOOP_Color,RGB(255, i, 0)) END LooperAddLine(LOOP_Color,RGB(196, 196, 196)) FOR i=75 TO 195 STEP 60 LooperAddLine(LOOP_Color,RGB(i, 255, 0)) END LooperAddLine(LOOP_Color,RGB(160, 120, 120)) FOR i=105 TO 255 STEP 75 LooperAddLine(LOOP_Color,RGB(75, i, 255)) END LooperAddLine(LOOP_Color,iLightYellow) FOR i=75 TO 255 STEP 60 LooperAddLine(LOOP_Color,RGB(255, i, 255)) END Kind regards,
Piet
