Better ColorRequester Dialog

Post by blueb »

Perhaps it might be possible to incorporate a new ColorRequester into the next version of PureBasic.

The current dialog is limited in that it uses the simplified version and it cannot remember the users choices between requests.

This would be handy when designing forms with a set of desired colors.

See: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 31#p506831 for an example.

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.

I'd like a way to change the ColorRequester window title, too. Just saying "Color" isn't too helpful for my customers. I'd like to make it say "Select list color", etc.

it would be enough if we could use #CC_FULLOPEN, and change the title.

i already requested something like that many moons ago: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... =3&t=52497

i dont think a custom requester would be a good idea, for a product like purebasic though.

c ya,

I dont think a custom requester is good either. If the OS provides the function, PB should only use this.

This is similar to me to the request someone made about changing the behaviour of the StringGadget. That is something that is up to the programmer IMO.

+1 for changing the title and "openness" of the default requester if the OS supports this tho.
