Visual Color Picker SDK

Visual Color Picker can be easily integrated into a program. Below is an example of how to load ColorPicker.dll and use its dialog function. Note, you should download and install Visual Color Picker 1.3. Then find ColorPicker.dll and put it in your folder.

class CColorRGBA
{
public:
	CColorRGBA()
	{
		ASSERT(sizeof(CColorRGBA) == 4);
		b = g = r = a = 0;

	BYTE b, g, r, a;

	HINSTANCE hModule = ::LoadLibrary(_T("ColorPicker.dll"));
	if (!hModule)
		return (UINT)-1;
	// Get Visual Color Picker function
	PickColor func = (PickColor)::GetProcAddress(hModule, "PickColor");
	if (!func)
	{
		::FreeLibrary(hModule);
		return (UINT)-2;
	}
	// call Visual Color Picker dialog function
	UINT ret = func(NULL, colText, colBk); // returns IDCANCEL, IDOK
	::FreeLibrary(hModule);
	return ret;
}
