SelectColor (Function)

In french: SelectCouleur

Opens the window for color selection while selecting the specified color.

Versions 15 and later

This function is now available for the Java applications.

New in version 15

This function is now available for the Java applications.

Until version 17, the standard window for color selection of Windows is opened:

From version 18, a more modern window for color selection is displayed (according to the selected options).

Note: The picker corresponds to the color picker supplied with the JRE.

Example

Value is int
SelectionResult is boolean

Value = RGB(10, 17, 69)
Info("Initial color: " + Value)
SelectionResult = SelectColor(Value, scInit)
Info("Final color: " + Value)

Syntax

<Result> = SelectColor(<Initial Value> [, <Options> [, <Custom Colors>]])

<Result>: Boolean

Exit mode from the window for color selection:
True if the OK button was clicked by the user,
False otherwise (Cancel button).

<Initial Value>: Integer

Initial color selected in the window for color selection.
Caution: You must not use a color constant directly (LightRed, etc.) or RGB. You have the ability to use a variable equal to:
an RGB color (returned by RGB),
an HSL color (returned by HSL),
a preset color of WLanguage.
Not to do:

SelectionResult is boolean = SelectColor(RGB(10, 17, 69), scInit)

Do:

Value is int = RGB(10, 17, 69)
SelectionResult is boolean = SelectColor(Value, scInit)

When the color selection window is closed, <Initial Value> contains the value of the selected color if the user validated the window using the OK button.

<Options>: Optional constant or optional combination of constants
