Hi,

I would like to suggest a few enhancements to the color picker set of controls: CXTPControlPopupColor, CXTPControlColorSelector & CXTPControlButtonColor.

1. Ability to set user-defined colors & tooltips. Currently, the 40 colors & tooltips are hard-coded.
    void CXTPControlColorSelector :: SetColors (CColorInfoList const & colorInfoList);

2. Ability to change the width / height of the CXTPControlColorSelector in terms of colors. Currently the dimensions are hardcoded to 8 by 5.
    void CXTPControlColorSelector :: SetColorsSize (CSize colorsSize);

3. Ability to change color of any part of the icon in CXTPControlPopupColor. Currently this is hardcoded to the bottom 1/5th.
    void CXTPControlPopupColor :: SetColorPositionInIcon (float startX, float startY, float endX, float endY);
This would work proportionally, so to specify bottom fifth, would be (0.0, 0.8, 1.0, 1.0), to specify top-right corner would be (0.5, 0.0, 1.0, 0.5) etc.

4. The same ability in CXTColorSelectorCtrl / CXTColorPicker set of controls that can be used on a dialog.

These enhancements would allow to do something like this, which is necessary for our project (this is a mock-up):

Is there anything like this in the toolkit already?

Regards,
Dima

Well, following Oleg's advice in http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=776&KW=CXTPControlPopupColor - here , i've hacked this up myself. (The first 3 points so far.)
