GUIKit Example: ColorChooser

GUIKit Example: ColorChooser

The functionality provided by GUIKit has been superseded by the interface construction and controls functions native to the built-in Wolfram Language.

Code
Wolfram Language code: Needs["GUIKit`"]
Wolfram Language code: ChooseColorDialog[] := ( If[!GUIObjectQ[$ChooseColorDialogObject], $ChooseColorDialogObject = GUILoad["Wolfram/Example/ChooseColorDialog"]]; GUIRunModal[$ChooseColorDialogObject, ReleaseMethod -> Manual] )
Definition
Wolfram Language code: def = Block[{$Path = $GUIPath}, Get["Wolfram/Example/ChooseColorDialog.m"]]

Example

This example uses Widget["ColorChooser"] and includes sample code demonstrating how to do the following.

  • Bind a Wolfram Language script to execute each time the selected color changes.
  • Create a custom color well whose background color changes with the selection.
  • Add a modal result binding so a Wolfram Language color primitive is returned to the kernel when the dialog session ends.
    • Define a utility wrapper function around the GUIRunModal call, demonstrating a single reusable instance of the dialog used throughout the lifetime of the kernel session.
