SciTE - show hex color value in the script

[BugFix]

Hi,

I think, you all know this: You look at a script containing color values. You have a rough idea of the colors, but would like to know how it looks like. 
I have created a Lua script that displays the color of the value in SciTE as Calltip. Set the cursor in the Hex-value, press the hotkey. Above the value a Call tip appears. The background color corresponds to the hex value.

Read the function header to obtain installation instructions.

So it looks.  

EDIT:
I think it's better to bind the function not only of AutoIt. If it can be called in all files, also the color settings in the * .properties can view. For this purpose remove the file attachment from the call. Use: command.13.*=  instead of: command.13.*.au3=

 

EDIT 20.07.2015:
Now I've made some changes
- You can switch to show colors as RGB or BGR
- added new function: PreviewBackForeColor
To have a preview for back and fore color:
- Write in one line first the back color, than the fore color (i. e. as comment: "; 0xDEDEDE 0x000080") OR
  have this values inside a function call: "_AnyFunction($param1, $param2, 0xDEDEDE, $param3 0x000080)".
  If the order inside the call is reverse (first hex value is fore color), you can call the function with Flag "_fFore1st=true"
- No other color value may be included in this line. If any - the first and second color will used.
- Set the cursor in this line and hit the Hotkey.
- A Calltip appears with the back color and the text "FORE-COLOR" with color of the fore value.
- If only one color value was find in this line, this value will used as back color or, if Flag is "true", as fore color.
  In this cases the fore color is set to black and with Flag the back color is the default GUI back color "0xF0F0F0"

Because you've different functions in one script, you need another way to install and call it. Read the instructions inside the script.

First color used as back color, second as fore color.

 

Function called with flag - first color is now the fore color.

 

 

EDIT 2018-01-16:

Added: 

Now be also recognized in au3 scripts, variables/constants which have an color assignment inside the script or inside an include file from this script.
But it can only be one assignment per line. If the assignment is inside a comment line or -block, it will ignored.
The assignment can also be build by using function(s) [from script or include files].
example:  "Local $COLOR = '0x' & Hex(Mod(@SEC, 2) ? Random(0,0x000FFF, 1) : Random(0x001000, 0xFFF000, 1), 8)"
But the functions must NOT CONTAIN any VARIABLES! This would require a recursive assignment search. Impossible if variables get values only at runtime.
You can disable the search inside include files with an entry in SciTEUser.properties:
#~ "ShowHexColorFromCursor.lua", Dis/Enable search in Includes (0/1  NO/YES)
Get.Color.Assignment.Includes=0
The default value (without settings) is '1', enabled.
Includes in comments will ignored.

current version v0.8

 

EDIT 2018-02-22:

Changed: Read assignment from function call got any problems - removed.
Fixed: Unexpected behavior if caret doesn't touch any hex value while calling the function.
Added: Recognition of hex values from length 1 hex character.
Added: Instead of default behavior for hiding the calltip, [line 75] local bCALLTIP_END_ANYKEY = true can be used to immediately fade out the tip every time you press a key or move a mouse.

Save the file.
At first, make an entry in your SciTEStartup.lua

LoadLuaFile("ShowHexColorFromCursor.lua", "C:\\Your Path\\with Backslash\\")


Select free command-numbers from your SciTEUser.properties.
Customize the following settings with this numbers.


# 13 Show HexColor RGB
command.name.13.*=Show RGB-Color From Cursor
command.13.*=dostring ShowHexColorFromCursor()
command.mode.13.*=subsystem:lua,savebefore:yes
command.shortcut.13.*=Ctrl+Shift+F11

# 14 Show HexColor BGR
command.name.14.*=Show BGR-Color From Cursor
command.14.*=dostring ShowHexColorFromCursor(true)
command.mode.14.*=subsystem:lua,savebefore:yes
command.shortcut.14.*=Ctrl+Alt+F11


Set the cursor in the Hex-value, press the hotkey to show the color as RGB or as BGR.
Above the value a Call tip appears. The background color corresponds to the hex value.
A possible alpha component is ignored.

[NEW]
Now be also recognized in au3 scripts, variables/constants which have an color assignment
inside the script or inside an include file from this script.
PLEASE NOTE: Each line may only contain one assignment!
If the assignment is inside a comment line or -block, it will ignored.
You can disable the search inside include files with an entry in SciTEUser.properties:
#~ "ShowHexColorFromCursor.lua", Dis/Enable search in Includes (0/1  NO/YES)
Get.Color.Assignment.Includes=0
The default value (without settings) is '1', enabled.
Includes in comments will ignored.

Be recognized AutoIt hex color code "0x12AB34" and also HTML hex color code "#12AB34" with length from 1 to 6 hex characters.
Possible alpha information will ignored.



PREVIEW FOR BACK AND FORE COLOR:
- Write in one line first the back color, than the fore color (i. e. as comment: "; 0xDEDEDE 0x000080") OR
  have this values inside a function call: "_AnyFunction($param1, $param2, 0xDEDEDE, $param3 0x000080)".
  If the order inside the call is reverse (first hex value is fore color), you can call the function with Flag "_fFore1st=true"
- No other color value may be included in this line. If any - the first and second color will used.
- Set the cursor in this line and hit the Hotkey.
- A Calltip appears with the back color and the text "FORE-COLOR" with color of the fore value.
- If only one color value was find in this line, this value will used as back color or, if Flag is "true", as fore color.
  In this cases the fore color is set to black and with Flag the back color is the default GUI back color "0xF0F0F0"

For use with AutoIt color values only.

To have both calls (w/wo flag) make two commands:

# 11 Preview Back and Fore Color / first color value is back color
command.name.11.*.au3=Preview Back and Fore Color
command.11.*.au3=dostring PreviewBackForeColor()
command.mode.11.*.au3=subsystem:lua,savebefore:yes
command.shortcut.11.*.au3=Ctrl+Shift+F12

# 16 Preview Fore and Back Color / first color value is fore color
command.name.16.*.au3=Preview Fore and Back Color
command.16.*.au3=dostring PreviewBackForeColor(true)
command.mode.16.*.au3=subsystem:lua,savebefore:yes
command.shortcut.16.*.au3=Ctrl+Alt+F12
