Hello to all

How to make a selection of Color Picker direct the user can see the selected color? In my example - the color selected by Color Picker should paint the square. Any variants ? Preferably with DOM.

var wColor= new Window('dialog', ' ');
    wColor.orientation = "column";
    wColor.alignment="top";
    wColor.spacing=0;
        wgr1=wColor.add('group');
        wgr1.orientation = 'row';
        wgr1.alignment='top';
            btnRGB1= wgr1.add('button',undefined,'RGB');
            btnRGB1.preferredSize = [50,20];
            p1 =  wgr1.add("panel", undefined, "", {borderStyle:"silver"});
            p1.preferredSize = [22,22];
        wgr2=wColor.add('group');
        wgr2.orientation = 'row';
        wgr2.alignment='top';
            btnRGB2= wgr2.add('button',undefined,'RGB');
            btnRGB2.preferredSize = [50,20];
            p2 =  wgr2.add("panel", undefined, "", {borderStyle:"silver"});
            p2.preferredSize = [22,22];
    btnRGB1.onClick = function(){//-------------------------------------------------------
        app.showColorPicker();
    }
    btnRGB2.onClick = function(){//-------------------------------------------------------
        app.showColorPicker();
    }
wColor.show()

Try this:

#target photoshop

var color1 = new SolidColor()

var color2 = new SolidColor()

var wColor= new Window('dialog', ' ');

    wColor.orientation = "column";

    wColor.alignment="top";

    wColor.spacing=0;

        wgr1=wColor.add('group');

        wgr1.orientation = 'row';

        wgr1.alignment='top';

            btnRGB1= wgr1.add('button',undefined,'RGB');

            btnRGB1.preferredSize = [50,20];

            p1 =  wgr1.add("panel", undefined, "", {borderStyle:"silver"});

            p1.preferredSize = [22,22];

        wgr2=wColor.add('group');

        wgr2.orientation = 'row';

        wgr2.alignment='top';

            btnRGB2= wgr2.add('button',undefined,'RGB');

            btnRGB2.preferredSize = [50,20];

            p2 =  wgr2.add("panel", undefined, "", {borderStyle:"silver"});

            p2.preferredSize = [22,22];

    btnRGB1.onClick = function(){//-------------------------------------------------------

        app.showColorPicker();

        color1.rgb.red = app.foregroundColor.rgb.red       

        color1.rgb.green= app.foregroundColor.rgb.green       

        color1.rgb.blue = app.foregroundColor.rgb.blue       

        g = p1.graphics;

        var myBrush = g.newBrush(g.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [color1.rgb.red/255,color1.rgb.green/255,color1.rgb.blue/255, 1]);

        g.backgroundColor = myBrush;

       

        try{app.foregroundColor = color1}

        catch(e){}

        try{app.backgroundColor = color2}

        catch(e){}

           

    }

    btnRGB2.onClick = function(){//-------------------------------------------------------

        app.showColorPicker();

        color2.rgb.red = app.foregroundColor.rgb.red       

        color2.rgb.green= app.foregroundColor.rgb.green       

        color2.rgb.blue = app.foregroundColor.rgb.blue          

        g = p2.graphics;

        var myBrush = g.newBrush(g.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [color2.rgb.red/255,color2.rgb.green/255,color2.rgb.blue/255, 1]);

        g.backgroundColor = myBrush;

       

        try{app.foregroundColor = color1}

        catch(e){}

        try{app.backgroundColor = color2}

        catch(e){}

    }

wColor.show()

Hi,

can I ask you where does the BorderStyle: 'silver' come from?

I don't where is comes from it has the same effect as the default borderStyle:"etched". The panel has the same appearence if you omit the borderStyle property. At least in Photoshop.

Snap! Silver sounded promising

Looks like the default etched to me too on Mac - I hoped to have missed an interesting property.
