Hi,

I'm using a CXTPControlPopupColor in a toolbar, but I want to change the pallete of the control (I need different colors). How do I set a different set of colors in the control ?

thanks,Yoav.

Only one suggestion - copy code from CXTPControlColorSelector to you r project and make changes in extendedColors array.

Maybe here 12 years after the request you could make a method for replacing the color array for the CXTPControlColorSelector control.

OK, to be fair. It is possible to use CXTPControlGallery in popup menus, and thereby the CXTPControlColorSelector. This is a more flexible control, with methods to specify the colors.

However I have one problem. How to set the selected color on start popup of the control.

Calling SetSelectedItem on the CXTPControlGallery seems not to work if the popup is not already opened?

I can see the reason is this code:

void CXTPControlGallery::OnCalcDynamicSize(DWORD dwMode)
{
  if (DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPControlComboBoxGalleryPopupBar, GetParent()) == 0)
  {
    m_nSelected = -1;
  }
  m_bHideSelection = FALSE;
  m_bPressed = FALSE;

  CXTPControlPopup::OnCalcDynamicSize(dwMode);
}

Why is the selection reset when parent is not CXTPControlComboBoxGalleryPopupBar?

I commented this out in the check in the CXTPControlGallery source code and now my code works perfectly.

I can now use a "Ribbon" gallery component in a popup context menu.

I'm using this CXTPPopupBar:

CXTPPopupBar *pPopupBar = CXTPPopupBar::CreatePopupBar(pPopupBar->GetCommandBars());

instead of the

CXTPPopupBar* pPopupBar = CXTPControlComboBoxGalleryPopupBar::CreateComboBoxGalleryPopupBar(pPopupBar->GetCommandBars());

So why this check in CXTPControlGallery ?
