Introduction

Methods

  • setRGB(RGB) set the initial color value.
  • getRGB() gets the selected color or the initial color, when no color selected.
  • chooseRGB(IColorChooserFactory) for use inside a SelectionListener.
  • setColorChooserFactory(IColorChooserFactory) sets a factory for creating color choosers.
  • setResultConsumer(Consumer) sets a consumer for the selected color.
  • You can also use all SWT Button methods.

Color choosers

  • ColorChooserHSB, selects a color by hue, brightness and saturation.
  • ColorChooserRGB, selects a color by red, green, blue.
  • ColorWheelChooser, selects a color from a color wheel.
  • ColorPicker, selects a color from a predefined or user defined color list.

Example: Use a SelectionListener

...
final ColorButton colorButton = new ColorButton(parent);
colorButton.setText("Click me!");

// initialize with current background rgb
colorButton.setRGB(shell.getBackground().getRGB());

colorButton.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
	@Override
	public void widgetSelected(final SelectionEvent e) {
		final RGB rgb = colorButton.chooseRGB(p -> new ColorChooserHSB(p, ColorResolution.Medium, true));
		// check if new color selected
		if (rgb != null) {
			[ enter your own code here ]
		}
	}
});
...

Example: ColorButton without Listeners

...
final ColorButton colorButton = new ColorButton(parent);
colorButton.setText("Click me!");

// initialize with current background rgb
colorButton.setRGB(shell.getBackground().getRGB());

colorButton.setColorChooserFactory(p -> new ColorWheelChooser(p, ColorResolution.Minimal, false));
colorButton.setColorConsumer(rgb -> {
	[ enter your own code here ]
});
