AutoCAD Map 3D :: Get Color Picker To Popup Inline In Code To Get User Selection?
May 27, 2011
I am porting some VBA to VB.Net.
Several of the modules do a ThisDrawing.SendCommand("_color" & vbCR) to popup the AutoCAD color picker, then process the response by doing a ThisDrawing.GetVariable("CECOLOR") to get the selected color.
With .Net, the SendCommand does not execute until the .Net program ends.
How can I get the AutoCAD color picker to popup inline in my code so I can get the user's selection?

I am a new user to paint.net, because the tool I used for complex image manipulation does not run on the OS of my new machine. Although I could easily purchase the newest version, I needed work on some pictures now. Paint.net was easily available and does most of the thins I need at the moment. In addition, it is officially supported at my work place, so it's a good idea to learn how to use it.
Paint.net has some great features and a cute UI, but there are some issues I would like to see improved. The one at the top of my list is the font preview. I am doing some text on a number of pictures and want to check out some fonts. Unfortunately I can't change the sample text in the font list (at least I do not know how).
However, meanwhile I found a even better function (actually the way I would like to see it). When the font list is open, I can scroll through the list and the text will instantly updated. Cool.
Great thing would be to move the color picker out from the tool box into the color selection, so that it would be always available. Also it would be useful to not only pick one pixel sometimes but the average of a greater area.

Working in Illustrator CS5 on a Mac. When choosing a color in the palette, the preview showing up is different than what is in the palette. If I hit "OK" the actual color chosen is the one in the palette, not the preview window... Including some pics for reference. In my 10+ years of using Illustrator, i have never seen this.I am using a Dell monitor on a mac... not sure if that would make a difference.

I have rebooted. I must have something selected or made some sort of change to my preferences. My color picker (either on it's own or accessed using alt in other tools) places the selected color as my background color instead of the foreground (active color). Does anyone know how to change it back or how I made it do this in the first place?

For some strange reason i can't find a plugin that does inline/inner selection.
the inverse of Outline selection plugin. Were i can find it or how can i implement it without a plugin.
i have a workaround for simple and not complex selections, using resize selections etc.. but it takes long time to implement, and it does not work for complex selection shapes.

Any settings where you can switch on/off the selection filter popup? Mine is just gone. Under application options I don't see anything to do with switching it off.

I have got this code by KEAN WALMSLEY.His code will ask user to select a block and then list all of selected block's attributes. However, I need to tweak his code a little bit and instead of user interaction, the block has to be selected by its name and through my code.
Here is his code (with slight changes to suit my purpose):
rivate Sub ListAttributes()Dim ed As Editor = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor Dim db As Database = Host Application Services.WorkingDatabaseDim tr As Transaction = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction() Try Dim filList As TypedValue() = New TypedValue(0) {New TypedValue(CInt(DxfCode.Start), "INSERT")}Dim filter As New SelectionFilter(filList)Dim opts As
[code]....
 Now, I need to change this Sub to a Function as below:
Private Function ListAttributes (blockName As String) As Boolean
The aim is to list all block attributes if the 'blockName' exists in drawing and return True afterwards. Oppositely it should return me False and print nothing to Editor if blockName does not exist.

The advanced color popup is off my monitor and nothing I have tried will bring it back. Without access can't select any colors accept the default palette. When I select Advanced the popup is not visible. Just get a ding if I try to click anywhere. Pressing return apparently closes popup so I can proceed.
I have three monitors. Have tried making window small and positioning it on the various monitors. Have tried a Repair Installation. Don't have disks for a complete reinstall because product was a downloaded buy.

--Toolbox: The 2 columns of Tools on the left side of the Editor screen.
--Foreground Color & Background Color: The color filled squares at the bottom of the Toolbox.
--Color dialogue box: This is the pop-up that is labeled at the top with "Color". It shows 48 different color squares (6 rows by 8 columns); they are labeled "Basic colors:". Right below the "Basic colors:" array is another 16 empty squares (2 rows by 8 columns) to be filled with colors to be defined. There is a "Define Custom Colors>>" button when clicked opens up a color picker with HSB RGB stacked below the color field screen. See this link to the Microsoft "Color Dialogue Box", [URL]
--Adobe Color Picker: The interactive dialogue box with the color field screen to the left and the HSB RGB numbers stacked on the right side.

The problem:In PSE 10, when using the Eyedropper Tool or clicking on the Foreground Color or the Background Color, the Microsoft Microsoft "Color Dialogue Box" pops up instead of the "Adobe Color Picker" dialogue box. This started about a month ago. I use Windows 7.
Â
I want the "Adobe Color Picker" to pop up (like it used to) inside PSE 10.

Why is the color picker window showing a different color to the whats displayed?

I'm assuming this problem I'm having stems from having color-calibrated monitors, but let me know if I'm wrong!
Â
To preface, this is the setup I have:
Windows 73 monitors as follows, all have individual color profiles calibrated using the Spyder 3Cintiq 12WX Dell U2410Dell 2409WFPPhotoshop CS6 - Proofed with Monitor RGB, and tested with color-managed and non-color-managed documents . I usually do most of my work on the Cintiq 12WX, but pull the Photoshop window to my main monitor to do large previews and some corrections. I noticed that the color picker wouldn't pick colors consistently depending on the monitor the Photoshop window is on.
Â
Here are some video examples:
This is how the color picker works on my Dell U2410:
[URL]........
This is how it works on my Cintiq 12WX:
[URL].........
Â
Main Question
I know the Cintiq's video capture makes the picture look more saturated than the Dell's, but it actually looks fine physically, which is okay. But notice how the Cintiq's colour picker doesn't pick a matching colour. It was actually happening the opposite way for a while (Dell was off, Cintiq was fine), but it magically swapped while I was trying to figure out what was going on.
Â
Semi-related Question regarding Color Management
Color management has always been the elephant-in-the-room for me when I first tried to calibrate my monitors with a Spyder colourimeter years ago. My monitors looked great, but Photoshop's colors became unpredictable and I decided to abandon the idea of calibrating my monitors for years until recently. I decided to give it another chance and follow some tutorials and articles in an attempt to keep my colors consistent across Photoshop and web browsers, at least. I've been proofing against monitor color and exporting for web without an attached profile to keep pictures looking good on web browsers. However, pictures exported as such will look horrible when uploaded to Facebook. Uploading pictures with an attached color profile makes it look good on Facebook. This has forced me to export 2 versions of a picture, one with an attached color profile and one without, each time I want to share it across different platform. Is there no way to fix this issue?
Â
Pictures viewed in Windows Photo Viewer are also off-color, but I think that's because it's not color managed... but that's a lesser concern.

You know how when you're painting, you can hold ALT and it will pick a colour from the canvas? Well, for some reason, mine still picks up the colour but it sets it to the background colour instead of the foreground colour.
And when I actually select the colour picker tool, it will only select the background colour but when I hold Alt, it selects the foreground colour. Basically it's flipped where it's supposed to select.

When I have any kind of layer, and I want to change the foreign or background color (with the color picker) I just cant. When I click on the foreign or background color it automatically selects the eyedropper tool, and I don't want this to happen.

When I try to edit the color of a shape layer by opening the color dialogue box of the shape layer, the color that is picked up is a lighter color than the color I clicked on.Â
Â
The eyedropper is set to point sample and all layers. This problem does not occur if I open the color dialogue box that is part of the toolbar.

Is there a way to choose colors outside of the Photoshop application using the Color Picker? Coming from Macromedia Fireworks, I have become accustomed to using the Color Picker tool within Fireworks, which enables you to pickup any color outside of the Fireworks application.
I have seen thrid party tools that let you choose colors from various programs, but they just give you the color scheme and you must type in these color values within Photoshop.

what is still missing in smoke is having the color wheel while picking a color. The color wheel will enable us to pick any color straight from the wheel , it's much faster rather than trying to mix the desired color using RGB combination. it will be cool to see this feature in next release.

I have a problem in loading the color picker in autocad 2008 using the VLAX class module, althought it was working well in autocad 2006.
The following represent the code for the VLAX class module:
Private VL As Object
Private VLF As Object
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
[Code].....
The line code highlighted in red is the line where an error occurs for the autocad2008
What's wrong with this module and also is there another way to call the autocad color picker?

Is there a way to be able to choose a desired feature line when extracting from a corridor? For example, when subgrade and finished grade are on top of each other, it seems subgrade is always coming as default for extraction. I'm not getting the option to select the desired point code as usual for some reason. The best way I found is by turning off the subgrade feature line from the corridor properties, which is a bit tedious.Â

I'm working on Autodesk VBA, and I'm trying to get user input on which vertex to use for a constrain. I want to make a macro that can go into part edit, allow user to select a vertex, and then automatically set up the constraint. Initially I wanted to do this in a single macro, using this short piece of code
while oSelectSet.Count <>1
DoEvents
Wend
While this worked when run directly from VBA, if I call it as a macro in Autodesk itself, the DoEvents doesn't seem o work because I wasn't able to make any selection at all. I googled and it seems like this is just how macros are.
So I split the code into a 2 subs and a function (as attached), and put them into separates rules that I call using a form in Autodesk. The first sub "Meta1Pin1_1" works, then I would select a vertex in edit mode. But when I go ahead and call the second sub "Meta1Pin1_2", I get the error message that I created which says no vertex is selected. But if I select a vertex and call the second sub again, it will work.
So I've been trying different things and I realize that every time when I first call the second sub, my selection is erased teh moment it goes into the sub. But, for some unknown reason, the selection will remain when I call it the second time. I can't figure out what exactly happened between the first and second call of the same sub, that allowed the selection to remain. Â

I have PS CS5 (version 12.0.4x32). The Color Picker HUD doesn't seem to work (shift-alt-right click). The Enable OpenGL Drawing box is greyed out and there's a note that PS "Standard" not supported. What's going on? Do I have aversion of PS that doesn't support the Color HUD? How do I find out if I have PS "Standard" .

I have been working with CS5 for a few years now and have never had any issues with anything but recently i updated my videocard driver and now the colors in my color picker have changed. They have become more "choppy" and it seems as though there is not, by far, as many color's to choose from. This screenshot explain.

I am seeing something very strange when I attempt to access the HUD color picker in PS CS6. The picker only displays when I have the PS Preferences box open. If I use the keyboard shortcut of 'control+option+cmd click' with only the image open minus the Preferences I get nothing.

I have PS CS4 on a Vista 64 system and have suddenly noticed (perhaps it did this all along, but I don't remember using the color picker tool since moving from PSE to PS a few months ago) that the color picker tool does not even come remotely close to picking the correct color that I am selecting with the eyedropper. I was doing a tutorial on brushes yesterday and tried to pick the red color from my kid's dress in the picture as the foreground color for the brush. The color picker chose a color in the browns. I then moved to choose a lime green, again it selected a color in the browns. I have no idea what gives. My monitor is calibrated using Color Munki Create and, as directed in the tutorial, I am using the Adobe RGB 1998 color space. But for some reason, the color picker is not behaving at all.

the small vertical window to the right of the main color picker window has changed on my copy of PSCS3. My other installation shows bands of various colors red, through yellow, green, blue, and finally red at the top. This way, I can pick an area of color for the larger square window at the left to make my selection. On the copy with the problem the color range is limited. The colors are instead of being the whole spectrum as above, just a limited spectrum around the color selected with the eyedropper.the range of colors that can be selected with the color picker is drastically narrowed.

I did something to jack up my color picker in Photoshop where now instead of having a range of colors that result in white in one corner and black in the other, it now shows a range of color with the foreground color in one corner and white in the other, very difficult to work with for my purposes.

Something has gone awry with my color picker. I have my mode set to CMYK, but for some reason, it is not showing the usual color schemes. When I click to choose a color, rather than separating out the color groups, it is showing me a merged view, similiar to how it looks when you are on a RGB mode.
