How To Specify Colours |
Thu, Feb 4 2016 5:59 AM | Permanent Link |
Mark Brooks Slikware | Has anybody found a quick and easy way to grab a colour from a web page and simply past this into the EWB object inspector for a TColor property? I seem to have to grab the colour (typically as hex or RBG) then perform some calcs on it before I end up with something that the TColor property accepts AND matches the intended colour?
Thanks Mark |

This is how I handle that: I use this colorpicker: http://melk.de/software/copi/copi.zip In the objectinspector I doubleclick the Color property and enter the hex value in the html-edit of the color-selection form. Not copy&paste, but quite simple and quick. Regards Uli |

Many thanks. The key for me was the double-click on TColor in order to pull up the dialog. I really never knew you could do this. Doh ............. Cheers Mark |

Uli Becker | Mark,
I looked for a better tool and found this: http://instant-eyedropper.com/ At least it stores the HTML value in the clipboard and there are some formats available. There is one ("AABBCC") which can be used for EWB, just add $FF to the left of the value. I just asked the developer to add this format and will keep you up to date. Regards Uli |

<< There is one ("AABBCC") which can be used for EWB, just add $FF to the left of the value. >> You don't need the $FF - the color editor dialog in EWB only uses the "base" rgb hex value without the alpha. You have to use the alpha edit control to adjust the alpha directly. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
