MenuColorPicker class

Hi,

a while ago I released a little utility for creating a popup menu color selector. Well, I have been in need of a much more flexible version... and here it is!

This one allows you to embed the color selector within any popup menu. The only restriction is that the color items must NOT reside within a submenu.

The class only has 4 methods and the the demo program shows all of them in action!

Thanks, but there's a couple of major bugs in there!

Fixing...

Fixed!

If problems persist then I'll have to switch the mouse-hook for a timer or thread.

Update - 25th Feb 2009.

The DisplayColorPicker() method now returns a quad value.

In the case that the operation was cancelled without anything being selected then -1 is returned.

In the case that a color value was selected, this value is returned 'as is'.

Otherwise, if one of the other menu items was selected, then the appropriate menuitemID is placed in the upper 32-bits of the return value. The lower 32-bits are set to zero.

This means that you can differentiate between all the various options and you can avoid having to use a callback etc. to obtain the selected menuitemID.

If you change the two SetWindowLong_() to SetWindowLongPtr_() it works
on 64-Bit.

Done; thanks! Without access to a 64-bit OS I often forget those things!

Have added a new method for setting the default color as well.
