CBCGPColorPickerCtrl

Detailed Description

The CBCGPColorPickerCtrl class implementation will help you to change the look & feel of the standard color-selection dialog. A CBCGPColorPickerCtrl object is a control with a list of colors in the hexagon form or luminance bar. The user can select a particular color from the list or luminance bar, which is then reported back to the application. The following is the picture of several CBCGPColorPickerCtrl objects:

The CBCGPColorPickerCtrl supports four styles:

• HEX and HEX_GREYSCALE - are suitable for the "standard" color selection.
• PICKER and LUMINANCE - are good for the custom color selection.

To incorporate the CBCGPColorPickerCtrl control into your dialog box template you have to perform the following steps:

• Insert a new button control (because CBCGPColorPickerCtrl class inherited from the CButton class) into your dialog box template.
• Insert a new member variable into your dialog box class associated with the new button. If you're using the ClassWizard, you will have to change the variable's type from CButton to CBCGPColorPickerCtrl.
• Insert the WM_INITDIALOG message handler for the dialog box class. This is the best place to define the actual type of the CBCGPColorPickerCtrl control, set its palette and initially displayed color.

If you want to take advantage of CBCGPColorPickerCtrl controls without addition programming efforts you may want to use CBCGPColorDialog.
