trackPopupMenu

public boolean trackPopupMenu(tagRECT rect,
                              IColor currentColor,
                              boolean orientation,
                              int hParentWnd)
                       throws IOException,
                              AutomationException

Show Color Palette.

Description

The TrackPopupMenu method displays the ColorPalette dialog on the screen.

Remarks

The TrackPopupMenu method controls the display of the palette with four parameters.

• rect - defines a rectangle, a tagRect structure, in screen coordinates (pixels) that the menu will align itself with—for example, the coordinates of the button that displays the popup menu. For more information about getting the onscreen coordinates of controls, see your development environment's documentation.
• currentColor - a color object, which allows you to specify the current color. If the color exactly matches a color on the menu, that color will be displayed as selected initially. If the user cancels the palette rather than selecting a color, the read-only Color property will reflect the color passed in this parameter.
• orientation - a Boolean, which affects the orientation and location of the menu. If False, the menu will align beneath the rectangle specified; if True, the menu will appear to the right of the rectangle.

Specified by:

trackPopupMenu in interface IColorPalette

Parameters:

rect - A Structure: com.esri.arcgis.system.tagRECT (in)

currentColor - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.display.IColor (in)

orientation - The orientation (in)

hParentWnd - The hParentWnd (A COM typedef) (in)

Returns:

The ok

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getColor

public IColor getColor()
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException

The Selected Color.

Description

The Color property of the IColorPalette interface returns the color selected during the TrackPopupMenu method.

Remarks

The Color property may return the IColor interface of either an RgbColor, HsvColor, HlsColor, CmykColor or GrayColor coclass.

If the user selects a specific color, the Color property will return that selected color. If the user selects the More Colors option and selects a color from the ColorSelector that is then displayed, the IColorPalette Color property will return that color.
