<short>The base class for TColorBox.</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>TCustomColorBox</var> is a <var>TCustomComboBox</var> descendant which 
implements the base class for <var>TColorBox</var>. TCustomColorBox displays 
available colors in a combo-box control. Each item in the control has a small 
rectangle where the color is displayed (swatch) and the color name.
</p>
<p>
The <var>Style</var> property is used to configure the list of available 
colors and their display names. Style may also trigger use of the 
<var>OnGetColors</var> event handler to get the items displayed in the 
combo-box control.
</p>
<p>
The <var>ColorRectWidth</var> and <var>ColorRectOffset</var> properties can 
be used to control the size and spacing for the color swatch displayed for 
the list items.
</p>
<p>
<var>Colors</var> allows indexed access to the <var>TColor</var> values in 
the list of items. When included in the Style property, colors like 
<var>clDefault</var> and/or <var>clNone</var> may be included in the list of 
Colors. The <var>DefaultColorColor</var> and <var>NoneColorColor</var> 
properties can be used to specify the TColor values used for those color 
constants.
</p>
<p>
ColorNames allows indexed access to the names for the values in Colors.
</p>
<p>
Do not create instances of TCustomColorBox; use the TColorBox descendant 
instead.
</p>
<p>
Use <var>TCustomColorListBox</var>  / <var>TColorListBox</var> to display 
color names and values in a list box control.

<short>Selects a custom color using a color dialog.</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>PickCustomColor</var> is a <var>Boolean</var> function used to select a 
custom color rather than one of the standard colors in the Colors property.
</p>
<p>
PickCustomColor is used when cbCustomColor is included in the Style for the 
control and ItemIndex is set to 0. This position was reserved for a custom 
color when the list of colors was loaded for the Style settings in the 
control.
</p>
<p>
PickCustomColor uses an existing value in ColorDialog when assigned, or 
creates the ColorDialog when needed. It executes the ColorDialog to get the 
color selection for the control. The custom color selection is stored as the 
first TColor value in the Items for the control. When a color is successfully 
selected using the dialog, the return value is set to <b>True</b> and the 
control is redrawn.

<element name="TCustomColorBox.ColorRectWidth">
<short>
Width for the color sample (swatch) displayed for colors in the item list.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
ColorRectWidth is an Integer property which contains the number of pixels 
used to draw the color sample (or swatch) for each of the Colors in the 
combo-box control. The height is determined using the item height for the 
combo-box control.
</p>
<p>
If an explicit value has not been assigned to the property, the value in 
cDefaultColorRectWidth is scaled to the current display density and used in 
the property value.
</p>
<p>
Setting a new value for the property causes the control to be redrawn.

<p>
Style is a TColorBoxStyle property with settings to determine the colors 
available in the control and their display style. Include values from the 
TColorBoxStyles enumeration to enable a particular setting. For instance:
</p>
<dl>
<dt>cbStandardColors</dt>
<dd>16 standard colors (as defined in graphics.pp); like cRed, clBlack, et. 
al.</dd>
<dt>cbExtendedColors</dt>

4 extended colors (as defined in graphics.pp); like clMoneyGreen, clSkyBlue, 
et. al.
</dd>
<dt>cbSystemColors</dt>
<dd>
System colors (as defined in graphics.pp); like clScrollBar, clWindow, 
clForm, .et. al.

for clRed.
</dd>
<dt>cbCustomColors</dt>
<dd>Uses the OnGetColors event handler to get the list of colors.</dd>
</dl>
<p>
The default value for the property is: [cbStandardColors, cbExtendedColors, 
cbSystemColors]. This enables the corresponding TColor values defined in the 
<file>graphics.pp</file> unit. By including cbCustomColor in Style, the 
custom color is stored as the first value in the Colors property.
</p>
<p>
Setting a new value for the property causes the SetColorList method to be 
called to reload the color names and values.

<element name="TCustomColorBox.NoneColorColor">
<short>TColor used for the clNone color constant.</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>NoneColorColor</var> is a <var>TColor</var> property with the color 
value used for the <var>clNone</var> color constant.
</p>
<p>
Like <var>clDefault</var>, clNone does not have any meaning without a context 
where it is applied. Its actual value is different for Forms, Buttons, 
Windows, etc. This property allows clNone to be resolved to an actual TColor 
value when needed.
</p>
<p>
The default value for the property is <var>clBlack</var>.
</p>
<p>
Changing the value for the property causes the control to be redrawn.
</p>
<p>
NoneColorColor is used in the <var>DrawItem</var> method to resolve the 
clNone color constant when drawing items in the control.
</p>
<p>
Use <var>DefaultColorColor</var> for the TColor value used for the 
<var>clDefault</var> color constant.
</p>

<short>
<var>OnGetColors</var> - event handler for the instruction to get colors.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>OnGetColors</var> is a <var>TGetColorsEvent</var> property with the 
event handler signalled to get custom colors used in the combo-box control.
</p>
<p>
An application must implement and assign an object procedure using the 
signature in TGetColorsEvent to respond to the notification. 
<var>Sender</var> is the <var>TCustomColorBox</var> control for the event 
notification. <var>Items</var> is the <var>TStrings</var> instance with the 
existing color names and values stored in the control.
</p>
<p>
The event handler can perform any actions needed to populate the list of 
Items. This can include clearing the Items, adding or removing selected names 
and color values, or using color names and/or values not defined as color 
constants in the graphics.pp unit. It could also be used to implement a 
custom color palette with specific pre-defined color combinations.
</p>
<p>
Some common operations:
</p>
<p>
Clear the list of ltems:
</p>
<code>Items.Clear;</code>
<p>
Add a specific color:
</p>
<code>Items.AddObject(rsSkyBlueColorCaption, 
TObject(PtrInt(clSkyBlue)));</code>
<p>
Delete a specific color:
</p>
<code>iPos := Items.IndexOf(rsSkyBlueColorCaption);
if iPos &lt;&gt; -1 then
Items.Delete(iPos);</code>
<p>
OnGetColors is signalled (when assigned) when the color list is loaded for 
the control, and <var>cbCustomColors</var> has been included in the 
<var>Style</var> for the control. This occurs when a new value is assigned to 
the Style property.

<short>
Settings which determine the colors available in the control and their 
display style.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>Style</var> is a <var>TColorBoxStyle</var> property with settings to 
determine the colors available in the control and their display style. 
Include values from the TColorBoxStyles enumeration to enable a particular 
setting. For instance:
</p>
<dl>
<dt>cbStandardColors</dt>
<dd>16 standard colors (as defined in graphics.pp); like cRed, clBlack, et. 
al.</dd>
<dt>cbExtendedColors</dt>
<dd>
4 extended colors (as defined in graphics.pp); like clMoneyGreen, clSkyBlue, 
et. al.
</dd>
<dt>cbSystemColors</dt>
<dd>
System colors (as defined in graphics.pp); like clScrollBar, clWindow, 
clForm, .et. al.
</dd>
<dt>cbIncludeNone</dt>
<dd>Includes clNone in the list of colors.</dd>
<dt>cbIncludeDefault</dt>
<dd>Includes clDefault in the list of colors.</dd>
<dt>cbCustomColor</dt>
<dd>The first color is customizable by selection from a dialog.</dd>
<dt>cbPrettyNames</dt>
<dd>
Uses "pretty" names in the color names instead of the color value; like Red 
for clRed.
</dd>
<dt>cbCustomColors</dt>
<dd>Uses the OnGetColors event handler to get the list of colors.</dd>
</dl>
<p>
The default value for the property is: [cbStandardColors, cbExtendedColors, 
cbSystemColors]. This enables the corresponding TColor values defined in the 
<file>graphics.pp</file> unit. By including cbCustomColor in Style, the 
custom color is stored as the first value in the Colors property.
</p>
<p>
Setting a new value for the property causes the SetColorList method to be 
called to reload the color names and values.

<descr>
<p>
<var>Colors</var> is an indexed <var>TColor</var> property which provides 
access to the colors in the control by their ordinal position in the list of 
Items. Setting a new TColor value in the indexed property causes the control

<short>The TColor value for the selected item in the list box control.</short>
<descr>
<p>
Selected is a TColor property with the color for the selected item in list 
box control. The default value for the property is clBlack.
</p>
<p>
Selected contains the value in Colors found at the position in ItemIndex. If 
ItemIndex is -1 (for no selection) or the handle for the control has not been 
assigned, the existing TColor value in the member is returned as the property 
value.
</p>
<p>
Setting a new value for the property causes the values in Colors to be 
searched, and the ItemIndex is set to the location for the color value. If 
the new value is not in Colors, ItemIndex is set to -1.

<element name="TCustomColorListBox.DefaultColorColor">
<short>TColor used for the clDefault color constant.</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>DefaultColorColor</var> is a <var>TColor</var> property with the value 
used for the <var>clDefault</var> color constant.
</p>
<p>
clDefault does not have any meaning without a context where it is applied. 
The default color is a different value for Forms, Buttons, Windows, etc. This 
property allows clDefault to be resolved to an actual TColor value when 
needed.
</p>
<p>
The default value for the property is <var>clBlack</var>.
</p>
<p>
Changing the value for the property causes the control to be redrawn.
</p>
<p>
DefaultColorColor is used in the <var>DrawItem</var> method to resolve the 
clDefault color constant when drawing items in the control.
</p>
<p>
Use <var>NoneColorColor</var> for the TColor value used for the 
<var>clNone</var> color constant.
</p>
<p>
Use <var>Style</var> to include or exclude the clDefault and clNone color 
constants in the Colors for the control.

<descr>
<p>
<var>NoneColorColor</var> is a <var>TColor</var> property with the color 
value used for the <var>clNone</var> color constant.
</p>
<p>
Like <var>clDefault</var>, clNone does not have any meaning without a context 
where it is applied. Its actual value is different for Forms, Buttons, 
Windows, etc. This property allows clNone to be resolved to an actual TColor 
value when needed.
</p>
<p>
The default value for the property is <var>clBlack</var>.
</p>
<p>
Changing the value for the property causes the control to be redrawn.
</p>
<p>
NoneColorColor is used in the <var>DrawItem</var> method to resolve the

<element name="TCustomColorListBox.OnGetColors">
<short>
<var>OnGetColors</var> - event handler for the instruction to get colors.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>OnGetColors</var> is a <var>TGetColorsEvent</var> property with the 
event handler signalled to get custom colors used in the list box control.
</p>
<p>
An application must implement and assign an object procedure using the 
signature in TGetColorsEvent to respond to the notification. 
<var>Sender</var> is the <var>TCustomColorBox</var> control for the event 
notification. <var>Items</var> is the <var>TStrings</var> instance with the 
existing color names and values stored in the control.
</p>
<p>
The event handler can perform any actions needed to populate the list of 
Items. This can include clearing the Items, adding or removing selected names 
and color values, or using color names and/or values not defined as color 
constants in the graphics.pp unit. It could also be used to implement a 
custom color palette with specific pre-defined color combinations.
</p>
<p>
Some common operations:
</p>
<p>
Clear the list of ltems:
</p>
<code>Items.Clear;</code>
<p>
Add a specific color:
</p>
<code>Items.AddObject(rsSkyBlueColorCaption, 
TObject(PtrInt(clSkyBlue)));</code>
<p>
Delete a specific color:
</p>
<code>iPos := Items.IndexOf(rsSkyBlueColorCaption);
if iPos &lt;&gt; -1 then
Items.Delete(iPos);</code>
<p>
OnGetColors is signalled (when assigned) when the color list is loaded for 
the control, and <var>cbCustomColors</var> has been included in the 
<var>Style</var> for the control. This occurs when a new value is assigned to 
the Style property.

<element name="TCustomColorListBox.ColorDialog">
<short>Dialog displayed to select a custom color for the control.</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>ColorDialog</var> is a <var>TColorDialog</var> property with the dialog 
displayed to select a custom color for the control. It can be assigned 
directly to the control, or it can be created at run-time when the 
<var>PickCustomColor</var> method is called.

<element name="TColorListBox">
<short>
Implements a list box control used to display and select color names and 
values.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>TColorListBox</var> is a <var>TCustomColorListBox</var> descendant which 
implements a list box control used to display and select color names and 
values. Each item in the control has a small rectangle where the color is 
displayed (swatch) and the color name.
</p>
<p>
The <var>Style</var> property is used to configure the list of available 
colors and their display names. Style may also trigger use of the 
<var>OnGetColors</var> event handler to get the items displayed in the list 
box control.
</p>
<p>
The <var>ColorRectWidth</var> and <var>ColorRectOffset</var> properties can 
be used to control the size and spacing for the color swatch displayed for 
the list items.
</p>
<p>
<var>Colors</var> allows indexed access to the <var>TColor</var> values in 
the list of items. When included in the Style property, colors like 
<var>clDefault</var> and/or <var>clNone</var> may be included in the list of 
Colors. The <var>DefaultColorColor</var> and <var>NoneColorColor</var> 
properties can be used to specify the TColor values used for those color 
constants.
</p>
<p>
ColorNames allows indexed access to the names for the values in Colors.
</p>
<p>
Use <var>TCustomColorBox</var>  / <var>TColorBox</var> to display color names 
and values in a combo-box control.
