Color... chooser... menu thing

[Rad]

You know the paint color selector thing, is it possible to simply open that up and use it to get hexcodes or anything? Or is that gradiant image a file that you can make show up in your program?

[SmOke_N]

You could always just do a screen shot of it, then edit it exactly like you want... and if you want to call it to do some color sorting, you could use a GUI to call it up.

[Rad]

I just did that, but now you have to have the image in a certain folder and thats no good! ><

How do you get the directory of the .exe (when its compiled)? I could make it take image "\image\ColorGradiant.JPG" but that doesnt work

--

Or even better, possible to add image into the .exe?

FileInstall()

[Rad]

Ummmmmmm I have absolutely no idea how to use that though.. once again helpfile leaves much to be questioned

[SmOke_N]

FileInstall() is really straight forward in the helpfile. If your having problems with that... Then maybe you should take a look at this thread before you try things like this: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...opic=19434&st=0

Well you say straightforward, I understand what it does (I think) except I dont know how your supposed to "install" a file without knowing the location. I have a .jpg Ill include in a ZIP now how the heck can I make a directory out of that when anyone who downloads can choose where to dl

[SmOke_N]

If you know where the file is on 'Your' computer... that's all you need to know, and where 'You Want' to put on someone elses.

$MyComputerFile = 'C:\MyPics\MyPic.jpg'; can't use a variable for the source file, but I wanted to show you it was from your computer.
$InstallTheirComputer = @TempDir & 'AnyNameIWant.jpg'
If Not FileExists($InstallTheirComputer) Then
    FileInstall('C:\MyPics\MyPic.jpg', $InstallTheirComputer)
EndIf

[Rad]

AH! That worked! TY!

The helpfile tells you to do it a different way like:

FileInstall ( "source", "dest" [, flag] )

So I did FileInstall("C:\Documents and settings...", "C:\Documents and settings...") it worked, but.. once you compile it puts the image inside too?

but.. once you compile it puts the image inside too?

You got it

Hmm, I went ahead and downloaded it against my better judgement being an .exe... Looks like you got what you wanted... good job.

My only problem is, you wrote it in AutoIt and not one of the special thanks went to any AutoIt Member... seems a bit condescending.

But good job.

Edit

Guess I replied prematurely... No need to have my name there ... I just thought it was weird.

A suggestion, without using your program, because I've never even seen the game... but the 'About' button, seems your using a 'Splash' with a delay... it was a bit annoying not being able to just exit out of it... have you thought of just making that a Child GUI?

could of used the UDF _ChooseColor if you have the beta

$i_ReturnType = 0 then COLORREF rgbcolor is returned (default)

$i_ReturnType = 1 then Hex BGR Color is returned

$i_ReturnType = 2 Hex RGB Color is returned
