Show color picker dialog JSX / CSAW

[Dominik Guzei]

Can someone guide me on how to show the color picker dialog in Illustrator programmatically?

In photoshop that's really easy, just:

     app.showColorPicker(true);

In Illustrator I couldn't find any reference to such a method or other possibility to show the dialog programmatically, that you would normally get when double clicking on the fill color square within Illustrator.

Is that possible by using app.executeMenuCommand or some other method?

I am writing a script that opens the color picker dialog in reaction to a click on a button. I want to be able to get the chosen color and use it within the script.

thanks for the help!

In case any one is reading this in the future like I was earlier today, you can indeed use the native color picker:

var startColor = new CMYKColor();
var result = app.showColorPicker(startColor);

alert(result)
