Here I show how to transform the TIEColorButton into a "Color Randomizer":

type
  TMyIEColorButton = class(TIEColorButton)
    protected
      procedure MouseDown(Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer); override;
  end;
  TIEColorButton = class(TMyIEColorButton);

implementation

procedure TMyIEColorButton.MouseDown(Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
  Form1.IEColorButton1.SelectedColor := RGB(Random(256), Random(256), Random(256)); 
end;


This saves the user a lot of work: Namely, to manually select a color in the color picker. He just has to click the button until he gets a color that he likes! ;-)

Hi Peter

You can also use this method in hyieutils.pas

function IERandomColor(PastelSet: Boolean = False): TColor;

Hi Nigel,

thanks for the hint. So the code would be:

type
  TMyIEColorButton = class(TIEColorButton)
    protected
      procedure MouseDown(Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer); override;
  end;
  TIEColorButton = class(TMyIEColorButton);

implementation

procedure TMyIEColorButton.MouseDown(Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
  if Tag = 999 then // restrict randomness to a specific IEColorButton
    SelectedColor := hyieutils.IERandomColor 
  else
    inherited;
end;


Is this correct?

Hi Peter

That is correct. Though you should also handle key presses by overriding KeyUp in the same way.
