About the ColorPicker Tool - [ ColorPicker.ahk ]
You may use this ColorPicker Tool from your Script by including this script
and call it with ColorPicker() function.
Example:
| Code: | CurrentColor := "FFFFFF"
SelectedColor := ColorPicker(CurrentColor)
Return
#Include ColorPicker.ahk |
- This Utility will ALSO run as standalone.
- Will remember its last GUI Position ( through INI File )
- 16 Favorite colors can be stored ( through INI File).
When 17th color is added 1st Color will be removed
- One may use the Colors.htm provided in the bundle to select favorite colors.
- ColorPicker_GENIE(.ahk) is an example of a superscript that calls the ColorPicker() effectively.

 [ Helper App for AHK Scripting. ]
ColorPicker GENIE is a clipboard monitoring utility that waits until the Clipboard contains a Valid Color Code
and when finds one - pops up the ColorPicker Utility. The changed Color code will be pasted to the window
that was active when ColorPicker Popped up.
Amidst AHK Scripting, one may find a requirement to pick a suitable color for a GUI background, Text Control etc.
With ColorPicker GENIE running in the System Tray, life will be easier.
Insert a Color Code : Press Control+Win+Insert ... and the ColorPicker pops up. Select a Color and Press okay ... you're done.
Replace/Preview a Color code : Double Click on the Color Code - Right Click - Copy ... and the ColorPicker pops up.
Select a Color and Press okay ... you're done.
Supported prefixes for Color Codes are "c" and "#"
For eg. HEX Code for "White color" will pop-up the ColorPicker when found in Clipboard as
Important Note: When AHK Scripting - "Double clicking" is enough for selecting the Color code. The leading or trailing spaces will be taken care of. The GENIE pastes back the edited Color code with exact number of leading/trailing spaces as found in clipboard.
Double clicking the "Tray Icon" will Pause/Resume the script. However manual insertion is always possible with hotkey Control+WIN+Insert.
Though written as a "Helper App" for/in AutoHotkey, this utility will be helpful for editing Color codes contained in HTML & AGU's BBCode Writer . 
Note: This Script requires ColorPicker.ahk for functioning.

Snapshots of ColorPicker GENIE @ work
The Prime use! Helping in AHK Scripting.
=> Just double click of the Color code - Right click - Copy ... and the ColorPicker pops up!
Just curious! Previewing a color code given in AutoHotkey Documentation!
Using it in AGU's BBCode Writer
Crazy!! I use it in PaintShop Pro 6.00
See the HTML Code provided as a edit field in PSP 6.
I modify it with ColorPicker GENIE because I find incrementing the
Color values to be more precise when done with ColorPicker GENIE`s Sliders.

Feedback will be highly appreciated .. Regards,

This is the colour-picker I always wanted!  Very stable, works just as you said (on my 'adapted' win98se system).
I'm taking my old colour-picker down to the recycling station.
Thanks |

Dear bLisTeRing,
Thanks for posting your view ( and *bumping* this Topic )
Its very nice for me to know someone really likes this Util.
Color Picker 2.00 will released soon. Download link for Color Picker 1.00 will still be provided.
What about the GENIE? Do you feel some feature could be added to it? Or just keep it simple?
Regards,

A feature whats missing is a a colorpicker.
I'm going to implement Skrommels WhatColor myself.

Good alternative to the colour-select dialog box.
Suggestion: why not add support for CMYK - it will help with image editing.

Very nice Goyyah! Love it.
Two suggestions if I may:
Turning critical off before "WinWaitClose" prevents the script from crashing when the ColorPicker is called from a critical thread. I should know that, but managed to do it anyway right away.
The mouse pointer often gets stuck when clicking on a listview - you can prevent that by using "-Multi" in the listview options.´
Thanks for this great tool. |
