Best clickable widget for color swatch?

stephenju

I am looking for a widget for display a color swatch. I need to set the
color to display and receive a signal when it's clicked.

I can't seem to find an existing QWidget that does both. Just want to
make sure there's indeed no such canned one before I build my own.

Thanks.

Hi Stephen,

How about "QColorDialog":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qcolordialog.html#details?
Is this what you are lookinf for?

You mean you are looking for a label that displays the color and when clicked, displays the QColorDialog?

Yes, I need a color label that responds to clicks. And brings up the color picker dialog. Thanks.

should not be hard to build on yourself
just derive from QLabel, overwrite mouseClickEvent() and calls QColorDialog::getColor.
Then call setbackgrounfdColor for the label.

PS: all functions are just logical names, I did not look up the correct ones in the docs.

I am going to build my own. Just want to know I am not reinventing the wheel. :)

Thanks.
