Colour Picker Application

[wrack]

Anybody wants to test this colour picker I made..?

Register the DLL with following command at command line. U need to change the path accordingly. If you have previously registered the DLL then please unregister it and then DELETE it. After that copy the new DLL and then register it.

To Register
REGSVR32 "C:\ColourPicker\ColourPicker.dll"

To UnRegister
REGSVR32 "C:\ColourPicker\ColourPicker.dll" /u

then run the exe and u will get a colour picker.

To move use mouse.
Small movement use arrow keys.
Medium movements use Home, End, PageUp, PageDown keys.
Right Click or Escape to exit
Left Click or Enter to pick the colour on the screen.

The DLL is the COM DLL so u can use it from VB or VC++, Delphi or .NET(I guess). You don't need exe for ur self. You can use ur choice of programming language and develop ur own application as a host to talk to DLL and display or use the result.

Let me know to post the Specs for talking to DLL..!

You can pick 10 colours at a time. After you pick all 10 colours the app will exit automatically and show you ur Picked colours. It will not repeat the selection (for example if you choose any colour twice then it will be considered as 1 colour but on the display it will only shown once)

You can keep selecting more colours as u please and keep adding them to previous selection.

I assume that many members here are good with figuring out how to use an app so it's usage it left on you to play with. You can choose to copy only HEX value or RGB value or both to clipboard.

-----------------------------------------
for those who have a technical problem registering and unregistering the DLL do the following.

Create a folder on the root of your C: Drive called "ColourPicker"

Put all files u unzipped in it and then double click on Install.bat

If you have to unintall then double click on Uninstall.bat
-----------------------------------------

Post any suggestions here..!

Do u think that I should use have different approach in GUI..? If yes then let me know what could be more easier.

Cheers.
