View Source wxColourDialog (wx v2.4.3)

This class represents the colour chooser dialog.

Starting from wxWidgets 3.1.3 and currently in the MSW port only, this dialog generates wxEVT_COLOUR_CHANGED events while it is being shown, i.e. from inside its wxDialog:showModal/1 method, that notify the program about the change of the currently selected colour and allow it to e.g. preview the effect of selecting this colour. Note that if you react to this event, you should also correctly revert to the previously selected colour if the dialog is cancelled by the user.

Example of using this class with dynamic feedback for the selected colour:
