    Posted: 16 June 2005 at 6:46pm

The Color property in its current state is very awkward to use, because it causes a modal dialog to pop up in order to choose a color. Most property grid implementations allow for a more intuitive, inline color dropdown instead.

Is it possible for you to implement the existing office style color selector/dropdown functionality (see http://www.codejock.com/products/toolkitpro/tour_28.asp) into the PropertyGrid control?

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for this suggestion, we moved it to TODO list for 10.0 release.

Now this feature available only for MFC package.

Thank you

Thanks CodeJock, I think this will make Color properties a lot more attractive.

Is the color picker dialog only going to be exposed via the property grid color fields or will the dialog be available for non-property grid use? (eg. pop the dialog up from a menu selection)

Hi guys....... I guess this did not make it in to v10 after all :)

I'm currently building a CSS editor and would like to use the PropertyGrid control. Having this color dropdown feature would make it much nicer than the ugly modal Window color dialog!

The following 2 enhancements would also be very useful for most projects:

  • Support to display HTML or CSS colors (#rrggbb or #rgb)
  • Ability to add custom "named" colors, e.g. "Fushia #ff00ff"

Thanks! You guys rock and the Suite is awesome!

Sorry to bump this up once more... Have there been any updates on this request?
 
Thanks again.
 
 
PS: After the new site update, screenshots of the desired functionality are now located at http://www.codejock.com/products/controls/tour_first.asp and http://www.codejock.com/products/controls/tour_20.asp.

I still love you guys, even thought you keep ignoring this request.  
 
Please reward my patience... it's now been 16 months, and I still need this feature just as badly! :)
 
Thank you!!!

Hi,
Something was added in 10.3.1. So we not totally ignore you :)
 
    Dim ItemColor As PropertyGridItemColor
    Set ItemColor = Category.AddChildItem(PropertyItemColor, "ToolbarColor", &HAA00FF)
    ItemColor.EditorStyle = ItemColorPopup
