[Feature Request]: Ability to set a number of custom colours for KryptonColorButton

[PWagner1]

From user jmgreywolf via Discord

_ I haven't been able to find it yet, but is there a way to only show specific colors in the ColorButton?_

Basically I want to provide users with only 10 different colors

It should be the same as "Any restriction" that can be implemented n the standard winform colour selection.

Guessing, it would be the use of the cache colour, and the removal of the display of all.

Hi jmgreywolf (Discord),
cc: @Wagnerp, @Smurf-IV,

You might have a look at the KColorButton properties that start with visible
Those give you the opportunity to configure the dialog.

SchemeStandard and SchemeThemes give you the options to show a selected list of colours.
Although those are predefined.

Maybe this could solve your question.
If not a possible feature request could be to add an option that let the user add a custom array of colours.

Cheers,

What I am doing for now is that I am restricting it to "Basic 16", and then translating which color was picked and replacing it with the corresponding color I allow.

Example: Lime, Green, Olive all become green

Hi @jgreywolf , @Wagnerp

Also a possibility to use a KToolStrip with DropDownButton and add the menu items (colours) you need...

Or a KDropButton in combination with a KContextMenu

I used the Drop DownButton on extended toolstrip and it works great - thanks!

@jgreywolf Can this be closed now ?

Well, I still think it would be a good feature. But my immediate issue has been resolved :)

Agreed, I think that is what #385 would be trying to do as well.

Reopened: Because the "Feature Request" has not been implemented - just worked around via the use of another control !
