RGBA Color Control

RGBA Color controls display a preview pane, the RGB/HLS/HSV toggle button, a numerical edit box and a color slider along with an optional animation divot and an optional label. They are associated to four underlying Float or Double parameters.

It is crucial to create the underlying parameters in the R-G-B-A order when defining them for this control, because the control takes the name of the red parameter only and assumes that the green is the next, then blue, followed by the alpha.

To provide a valid value range for your slider, set the minimum and maximum properties when you create each parameter.

You create them using the PPGLayout.AddColor method with the Alpha parameter set to true.

// ** during parameter definition (for example, in the Define callback) **
oCustomProperty.AddParameter3( "MyRed", siDouble, 0, 0, 255 );
oCustomProperty.AddParameter3( "MyGreen", siDouble, 0, 0, 255 );
oCustomProperty.AddParameter3( "MyBlue", siDouble, 0, 0, 255 );
oCustomProperty.AddParameter3( "MyAlpha", siDouble, 0, 0, 255 );
// ...

// ** during control creation (for example, in the DefineLayout callback) **
oLayout.AddColor( "MyRed", "Pick a Color", true );

You can also use the PPGLayout.AddItem method with the siControlRGBA control type enum, but the PPGLayout.AddColor method is a little more convenient.
