TIEColorPalette.Colors

Declaration

property Colors: TStrings;

Description

TIEColorPalette provides two ways to access the color palette:
◼As an array of TRGB (via Palette)
◼As a stringlist of TColor or RGB values

Colors assumes each line contains one of the following formats:
◼A Delphi const, such as clRed, clBlue, clNone or clTransparent
◼A hex value such as $000000FF (red) or $00FF0000 (blue)
◼R, G and B values separated by a space, e.g. '255 0 0' (red) or '0 0 255' (blue)

Note: You can use 'clTransparent' to specify a transparent/alpha value

Example

// DISPLAY A COLOR SET
ColorPalette1.Colors.text := 'clRed'    + #13#10 +
                             'clYellow' + #13#10 +
                             'clBlue'   + #13#10 +
                             'clWhite'  + #13#10 +
                             'clBlack'  + #13#10 +
                             'clGray';

// ASSIGN A PALETTE FROM A FILE CONTAINING COLOR VALUES
var
  ssFile: TStringList;
begin
  ssFile := TStringList.Create;
  ssFile.LoadFromFile( 'D:\MyColors.txt' );
  IEColorPalette1.Colors := ssFile;
  ssFile.Free;
end;

// ASSIGN A PALETTE FROM A DATABASE THAT CONTAINING A COLOR COLUMN
var
  ss: TStringList;
  i: integer;
begin
  ss := TStringList.Create;
  tblColorList.First;
  While not tblColorList.EOF do
  begin
    ss.Add( ColorToString( tblColorListColor.AsInteger ));
    tblColorList.Next;
  end;
  IEColorPalette1.Colors := ss;
  ss.Free;
end;
