COLOR CLIPBOARD shortcut?

[BrandonD]

The problem is that it's an old utility that never was opened to MAXscript from what I can gather. I'll see if I can write one for you...

In max 5, you could use

macroScript OpenCC category:"Material Editor"
(
UtilityPanel.OpenUtility Color_Clipboard
)

This will open the utility in the command panel (Utility tab). You could put it into the MEdit menu, on a toolbar or Quad, or assign a shortcut to it to quickly access the Color Clipboard.
It will NOT open the CC Floater though :annoyed:

An alternative would be to use this code:




macroscript ColorClipboard category:"Tools"
(

rollout colorClipboard "ColorClipboard" width:200 height:96
(
colorPicker color01 "" pos:[8,8] width:56 height:32 color:(color 128 128 128)
colorPicker color02 "" pos:[72,8] width:56 height:32 color:(color 128 128 128)
colorPicker color03 "" pos:[136,8] width:56 height:32 color:(color 128 128 128)
colorPicker color04 "" pos:[8,48] width:56 height:32 color:(color 128 128 128)
colorPicker color05 "" pos:[72,48] width:56 height:32 color:(color 128 128 128)
colorPicker color06 "" pos:[136,48] width:56 height:32 color:(color 128 128 128)
)
-- create the rollout window and add the rollout
if ColorClipboardFloater != undefined do
(
closerolloutfloater ColorClipboardFloater
)

CreateDialog colorClipboard width:200 height:100
)


I tested it and it seems to work, simple enough. Just cut and paste it into a new script window. Then save it in your /UI/Macroscripts directory as ColorClipboard.mcr. Then either run it directly or restart MAX. You can assign it to a QuadMenu, Toolbar, hotkey, etc. It'll show up under Tools.

Hey thanks!

all of you are great!

I just put your script (BrandonD) in the matedit menu... it works perfect, it is just what I want.
