Integration of color picker on a form

aware_support

Integrating color picker in Aware IM is a lot of work - it will be done in one of the future releases, but we are giving you the ability to use it now without waiting for the next release.

We have provided two scripts - one implements a color picker in a form. Another one displays a color box in a column of a query and optionally allows to inline edit it by invoking the color picker widget. The query script doesn't lose any operations or anything else in the query.

Support, just like you always require us to provide a BSV to show the exact case when we report something, could you please provide us a Sample BSV that shows both cases so we can jump in and use it properly?

Thank you in advance!

The BSV is in www.aware.com/sample-apps/testColorPicker.bsv. There is an object A with the attribute Color. The form of the object supports color picker (check out the Advanced script of the form).

There is also a query called "A - all default". The query displays the colors with inline editing. Check out the Advanced script of the query.

Thank you Sir, but the link is incorrect... 😃

Hi,

So basically this BSV just shows how to display the actual colour on the form, BUT we can't use the value stored in Attribute Styles?

The BSV shows how to display a color AND edit it. The color is stored in the attribute. Styles have absolutely nothing to do with it.

Hi Support,

Yes, I can see that in the sample bsv. So we have a colorpicker but if we want to use the 'pick color' on another BO's attribute as a Presentation Style, we can't use it ??

To simplify my question;
what can I do with the colors that I picked (using the colorpicker) ?? besides showing it to the user.

Attribute styles do not support referring to attributes yet (but maybe we can add it soon). You can still use it in many other places where it is supported - for example, in the HTML cells of a form, in the static HTML of a visual perspective etc.

In build 2164 it is now possible to refer to attributes in styles.
