' ChooseC.bas                      by Jordi Vallès      version 1d    24/11/2008
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
' Color picker program.
' Call the standard Windows Common Dialog CHOOSECOLOR but using extensively the
' Hook facility provided and pointed in CHOOSECOLORAPI structure in order to
' add some facilities that can be used by programmers.
'
' Information about the CHOOSECOLOR program and how can be used and customized
' and how the Hook can be enabled, including some color theory, can be found 
'on: [URL="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646375%28VS.85%29.aspx"](MSDN Color Dialog Box)[/URL]
'
' Due that this program is a Hook the code must be in SDK style but the measures
' used by the CHOOSECOLOR are in Dialog Units. To solve this apparent problem I
' convert the sizes and positions to pixels using the second method explained
' on: [URL="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/145994"]How to calculate dialog box units[/URL]
' This method seems appropriate. Program tested on several screen resolutions
' with succes. Also tested with Windows XP SP3.
'
' Facilities added by this program:
'  - Entire set of Windows System Colors with current colors.
'  - ToolTips added to all controls.
'  - Percentage of current color chosen, numbers and color.
'  - Current selected color in hexadecimal.
'  - Output color area expanded.
'  - Click over output color shows contrast with some text.
'  - Accept or Enter key set current information on ClipBoard and terminates.
'  - Three styles of data when save information on ClipBoard.
'  - Remember style between sessions.
'  - Save/restore all 16 custom colors
'  - Luminiscence bar more wide.
'  - Save/restore window position.
'  - Starts with last color selected.
'
' An INI file is created dynamically on same folder of this executable program
' to save and pass information between sessions.
'
' Part of source and/or information used here comes from:
' Bob Houle, Gafny Jacob, Eric Pearson, Erik Christensen and others.
'
' Program PB WinSpy++ by Borje Hagsten has been used intensely to obtain the
' needed internal information about ChooseColor program.
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'  - Program developed, compiled and tested with PowerBASIC for Windows 9.00 on
'    a PC HP Pavilion m7760 1.80 GHz with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1.
'  - Code posted here is released to Public Domain. Use at your own risk.
