I was wondering if someone could help me make a window that shows the colour chooser like from the select colour of text button next to the plus menu button in the chat window.  I need it to kind of pop-up like the browse in the background changer script if that is alright.  If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Do you mean this one?

The only way I think you can do that (what Matty shows) is with the MsComDlg.CommonDialog ActiveXObject, and I believe that's one of the objects that only comes with certain programs (like Visual Studio)...however I may be wrong.

A bit too lazy to convert it over but have a look.

Thanks that's exactly what I was after Matty, I'll try to work out what to do but if you can help me with it's implementation that would be awsome (though I do understand you are probably quite busy).  Thanks heap for that much anyway.

code:

//Show color picker common dialog

//Create our CHOOSECOLOR data block
var CHOOSECOLOR = Interop.Allocate(36);
CHOOSECOLOR.WriteDWORD(0, 36); //DWORD lStructSize
CHOOSECOLOR.WriteDWORD(4, 0); //HWND hwndOwner
CHOOSECOLOR.WriteDWORD(8, 0); //HWND hInstance
CHOOSECOLOR.WriteDWORD(12, 0x000000FF); //COLORREF rgbResult (COLORREF = 0x00bbggrr)
var CustColors = Interop.Allocate(64); //Create an array of 16 COLORREFs for CustColors
CHOOSECOLOR.WriteDWORD(16, CustColors.DataPtr); //COLORREF *lpCustColors (pointer to our array)
CHOOSECOLOR.WriteDWORD(20, 3); //DWORD Flags (3 = 2 (CC_FULLOPEN) + 1 (CC_RGBINIT) )
CHOOSECOLOR.WriteDWORD(24, 0); //LPARAM lCustData
CHOOSECOLOR.WriteDWORD(28, 0); //LPCCHOOKPROC lpfnHook
CHOOSECOLOR.WriteDWORD(32, 0); //LPCTSTR lpTemplateName

//Open the dialog box
var result = Interop.Call('comdlg32.dll', 'ChooseColorA', CHOOSECOLOR);
//If the user pressed ok convert it to hex
if(result == 1){
  //Get decimal values
  var r = CHOOSECOLOR.ReadDWORD(12) & 0xFF;
  var g = (CHOOSECOLOR.ReadDWORD(12) / 0x100) & 0xFF;
  var b = (CHOOSECOLOR.ReadDWORD(12) / 0x10000) & 0xFF;
  Debug.Trace('RGB: ' + r + ',' + g + ',' + b)
  //Get hex values
  var hexchars="0123456789ABCDEF";
  var r = hexchars.charAt((r >> 4) & 0xf) + hexchars.charAt(r & 0xF);
  var g = hexchars.charAt((g >> 4) & 0xf) + hexchars.charAt(g & 0xF);
  var b = hexchars.charAt((b >> 4) & 0xf) + hexchars.charAt(b & 0xF);
  Debug.Trace('HEX: ' + r + g + b);
}

For all you lazy people out there i have packaged this script into a *.plsc file so all you have to do is download it and import it.

I did not make this script so i give full credit to eljelly


I think this script is wicked.

Well done eljelly
