A year ago I laboriously created a custom version of CXTPControlColorSelector so that I can display my own palette of colors from a commandbar. Now I would like to present the same selector from a property grid item.

The problem is that the Property Grid sample uses an entirely different color picker class: CXTColorPopup. It actually looks more customizable than CXTPControlColorSelector, but I'd rather not re-implement another color picker and then maintain them both.

Is there any way to pop up a CXTPControl from a PropertyGrid item? Can my CXTPControlColorSelector be made to work like a drop-down menu from a grid's color item?

Ah! I found CXTPCommandBars::TrackPopupMenu

That seems to work:


CXTPControlPopupColor* pPopupColor = (CXTPControlPopupColor*)CXTPControlPopupColor::CreateObject();
CXTPPopupToolBar* pColorBar = CXTPPopupToolBar::CreatePopupToolBar(GetCommandBars());
pPopupColor->SetCommandBar(pColorBar);
pColorBar->GetControls()->Add(new CRobloxControlColorSelector(), ID_COLOR_PAINT_SELECTOR);
CXTPCommandBars::TrackPopupMenu(pColorBar, TPM_LEFTBUTTON, 400, 400, AfxGetMainWnd());
pColorBar->InternalRelease();

Is this the basic idea?
