[Pythoncard-users] how to set initial value of a colorDialog?

[Alec B. <wry...@gm...>]

The title pretty much says it. I'm creating a colorDialog like this to
allow the user to pick a color:

result = dialog.colorDialog(self)

I'd like the dialog to have a certain color preselected. Is it possible?

Thanks.

In iPython I typed the following

 >>> from PythonCard.dialog import colorDialog
 >>> colorDialog?
Type:           function
Base Class:     <type 'function'>
String Form:    <function colorDialog at 0x134cc470>
Namespace:      Interactive
File: 
//usr/local/lib/wxPython-unicode-2.8.9.1/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.8-mac-unicode/wx/lib/dialogs.py
Definition:     colorDialog(parent=None, colorData=None, color=None)
Docstring:
     <no docstring>

Which tells me that you can supply two optional parameters when you 
create the dialog, one called colorData and another called color.

Andy

...and there was me getting lost trying to follow the
Pythoncard->wxPython->wx class hierarchy and work out what you could
pass into the constructor. I really must look into iPython one of these
days.

It looks like colorData and color correspond to...er...ColorData
and Color objects, the former being specific to the color picker
dialog (it stores various settings including RGB). If you just want to
pass an RGB value it looks like you use the Color object.
