How to set a NSCalibratedRGBColorSpace ? Cocoa - macos

I need to set a color.
In my case the color returned by a NSColorWell is NSCalibratedRGBColorSpace 0 1 0 1. If I set this color the app crashes. How can I manipulate it ?
Thanks

Difference between FPDFAnnot_SetRect and FPDFAnnot_AppendAttachmentPoints when adding a annotation to pdf document

I'm using pdfium to add annotations to pdf files.
I opened the pdf file using Notepad++ and viewed its objects. Annotation object was present inside the Page object as follows,
3 0 obj
<</Annots[<</C[ 1 1 0]/CA 1/F 4/QuadPoints[ 0 300 300 300 0 0 300 0]/Rect[ 216.182 702.94 368.75 686.38]/Subtype/Highlight/Type/Annot>>]/Contents 4 0 R /Group<</CS/DeviceRGB/S/Transparency/Type/Group>>/MediaBox[ 0 0 612 792]/Parent 2 0 R /Resources<</ExtGState<</GS7 7 0 R /GS8 8 0 R >>/Font<</F1 5 0 R >>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageB/ImageC/ImageI]>>/StructParents 0/Tabs/S/Type/Page>>
endobj
I used following code to add the rect and attachment points to the annotation.
FPDF_ANNOTATION highlightAnnot = FPDFPage_CreateAnnot(page, FPDF_ANNOT_HIGHLIGHT);
FPDFAnnot_SetRect(highlightAnnot, &rect);
FPDFAnnot_AppendAttachmentPoints(highlightAnnot, &new_quadpoints);
As I understood, Attachment points are set to give the location of Highlight annotation where we want it to be. But I don't understand the purpose of setting the Rect for this annotation.
Can someone please tell the reason for using FPDFAnnot_SetRect function?
Another thing,
FPDFAnnot_SetRect defines the bounding box, while FPDFAnnot_AppendAttachmentPoints defines the actual shape. Consider a multiline highlight annotation, it has only one Rect, but several AttachmentPoints.
A Rect could be used as a "collision box" at application level so that when you click on it, you select the contained annotation. Or it can be an "updating box".
Rect is more general and only text-related annotation types have AttachmentPoints.

Applescript: Choose color, color return

What I'm trying to make is this:
set retry to true
repeat while retry is true
display dialog "In the next window you'll have to choose a color!" buttons {"Cancel", "COLORR!"} cancel button 1 default button 2
set Chosencolor1 to (choose color)
display dialog "The chosen color is: " & Chosencolor1 & " Is this right?" buttons {"NO", "YES"}
if the button returned of the result is "no" then
set retry to true
display dialog "Retry is now: " & retry
else
set retry to false
display dialog "Retry is now: " & retry
end if
end repeat
end
But when I run this code it will return a color code in numbers. But what I want is that it will return a color name like: light blue, blue, green etc.
The only way I know is to do something like:
if the chosencolor1 is "000" then
set the chosencolor1 to "Black"
end if
end
is there any other, more simple way to do this? Or is this just not possible?
Thanks for reading,

From the AppleScript Language Guide for choose color:
Result The selected color, represented as a list of three integers
from 0 to 65535 corresponding to the red, green, and blue components
of a color; for example, {0, 65535, 0} represents green.
As you have surmised, the only way to get a textual response is to program it yourself using the values of the list that your user chooses.
Here is a very simple example that adds all the values of the chosen RGB integers, and determines if it closer to black or white:
set myColor to choose color
display dialog ("You have chosen: " & my fetchColorName(myColor))
to fetchColorName(clst)
set totalColorValue to ((item 1 of clst) + (item 2 of clst) + (item 3 of clst))
set blackWhiteMidpoint to (196605 / 2)
if totalColorValue < blackWhiteMidpoint then
set colorName to "A color closer to black than white."
else
set colorName to "A color closer to white than black."
end if
return colorName
end fetchColorName

Form property automatically changing on saving changes in VB6 (configured with VSS 2005)

I am facing below issue in VB6 :
When I checkout file file and check "Show differences" it is showing no difference (identical files) but when I save my changes without changing and form property and again check for differences in VSS , it is showing difference in few property.One of them is mentioned below.Kindly suggest.
Begin VB.Label CommStatus
BackColor = &H80000014&
BorderStyle = 1 'Fixed Single
BeginProperty Font
**Name = "Arial"** 'this property is changing
Size = 8.25
Charset = 204
Weight = 700
Underline = 0 'False
Italic = 0 'False
Strikethrough = 0 'False
EndProperty
ForeColor = &H000000C0&
Height = 375
Left = 240
TabIndex = 3
ToolTipText = "The most recently detected error"
Top = 360
Width = 7815
End
You can check attach image
After looking in to this, the reason for seems to be Windows zoom setting (100%,125% and 150%, control panel/Make text and other items larger or smaller). If the form is checked in to TFS/VSS/GIT in one zoom setting, and later edited in another, VB6 will change all kind of form properties to adjust for this. So this probably only happens in dev teams with 2+ users that happens to have different screen sizes and therefor different zoom settings.
Only way to avoid this is probably to all use the same zoom setting...

VB6 Change Background Colour of ListView Item

Refering to Change background color of listview in vb6
I tried this example and does not work as in I see no coloured rows.
I have a command button on my form that loads listview items then once that is finished I call the routine to setup the colour.
I made my picture box visible to see the expected outcome and it is as expected. So effectively setting the ListView's Picture property to the PictureBox's Image property is doing nothing for me.
Anyhow this is my code:
'pbxBG.Visible = True
If lsvPersonalisation.ListItems.Count <> 0 Then
pbxBG.Width = lsvPersonalisation.Width
pbxBG.Height = lsvPersonalisation.ListItems(1).Height * (lsvPersonalisation.ListItems.Count)
pbxBG.ScaleHeight = lsvPersonalisation.ListItems.Count
pbxBG.ScaleWidth = 1
pbxBG.DrawWidth = 1
pbxBG.Cls
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To lsvPersonalisation.ListItems.Count
If lsvPersonalisation.ListItems(i).Tag = "1" Then
pbxBG.Line (0, i - 1)-(1, i), &H80FFFF, BF
Else
pbxBG.Line (0, i - 1)-(1, i), &HFFFFFF, BF
End If
Next i
Else
pbxBG.Cls
End If
lsvPersonalisation.Picture = pbxBG.Image
'pbxBG.Visible = False

Change cell background color without changing focus

On a form I have 4 MSFlexGrids.
The top grid contains dynamic data, which updates once in a while.
The user can enter data in the cells of the 3 other grids.
The data which is used to fill the top grid is received via a Winsock control, processed, and then the results are written into the appropriate cells using .TextMatrix(intRow, intCol) = strData
This works fine. The data is updated flawlessly, and the user can enter his data into the other 3 grids without any problems.
The problem occurs when I want to change the background color of some cells in the top grid.
On rare occasions the received data is very important, and the background color of the corresponding cells should change color.
I change the color of the cells with the following code:
With grd
For lngRow = 1 To .Rows - 1
'default background color
lngBack = vbWhite
'check for important values
If Val(.TextMatrix(lngRow, 1)) >= lngMax Then
'important color
lngBack = &H3040FF
End If
'select whole row
.Row = lngRow
.Col = 0
.RowSel = lngRow
.ColSel = .Cols - 1
'set the background color of the selected row
.CellBackColor = lngBack
Next lngRow
End With 'grd
The problem with this is that when the user is entering data in the other 3 grids, and the background color of a row in the top grid is changed, then the focus moves to the top grid, and the user has to enter his data anew in the grid where he was working.
Is it possible to change the background color of a cell or whole row in a MSFlexGrid without moving the focus to that grid?
So far I could not find a solution to the problem itself.
I created a work around though :
I created an enum containing a value for each grid:
Public Enum ActiveGrid
enuSystem = 0
enuTel = 1
enuRLN = 2
enuRood = 3
enuData = 4
enuCircuit = 5
End Enum
Whenever a grid gets the focus I save the corresponding enum value in a form level variable.
After coloring the required cells in the first grid I return the focus to the grid which last had it.
The user is not editing in the grid itself, but in a textbox which is laid over the cell, so there is no real problem with the grid losing the focus.
When you look closely though you see the focus leave and return quickly.
For now I will accept this work around, and its minor glitches.
Maybe in the future I can come up with a better solution, or anyone else has a better suggestion?
