#1 pwColor

[Anonymous]

Hi Matt,

at first: really good control.

But i found something strange in the Parts with the
custom icon.

I created a property with iType pwColor and want the
property to have an additional state like enabled /
disabled, so I implemented the eventsinks
1. Propertydoubleclick with a toggle-mechanism to
enable and disable the property
2. Propertychanged to do the valuechange part

Now when I double-click this property, at first the color-
control opens and "after" confirming or canceling, the
control is given to the doubleclick-event, even when the
property has disabled-state.

I tried to "lock" the property to (old mechanism) with no
other reaction.

I think it should only react on the customicon on the
right side.

Any suggestions?

Hi,
found the solutuion to change this behaviour.

In ctlEditColor -> TakeKeys Keycode-resolving routine you
have to comment the Call to "cmdEllipsis_Click".
From then the iTypes Color and ColorEx only starts-up on
click on the small button.
Perhaps you can use the Locked-property to control this
behaviour.
Code:
Public Sub TakeKey(...)
...
If KeyCode = vbLeftButton And (Shift And
vbMouseDoubleClickMask) > 0 Then
'it was double clicked
' cmdEllipsis_Click <---- Comment
...
End Sub

Found something else:

When ColorDialog (ColorEx only) is opened for a property with
is near to bottom of the screen, the dialogs OK, Cancel... -
Buttons are displayed behind for ex. the TaskBar or perhaps
outside the screen-range.
Following Code may Help here:
Private Sub cmdEllipsis_Click(...
If m_objProperty.iType
...
ElseIf m_objProperty.iType = pwColorEx Then
With frmColorDialog
...
GetScreenPos ContainerHwnd, Left, Top
Left = (Left + Extender.Left) * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
Top = (Top + Extender.Top) * Screen.TwipsPerPixelY

If Top + .Height > Screen.Height - 32 *
Screen.TwipsPerPixelY Then
Top = Screen.Height - .Height - 32 *
Screen.TwipsPerPixelY
...
