Insert color

Insert color opens the select color dialog, which allows you to select a color value and insert it into a document. The dialog allows you to view or choose a color and then have the value of the color inserted into the active file.

You can insert the color value in one of the following 4 formats:

1. Decimal - the decimal value for the color value in RGB, e.g. 12615680
2. Hexadecimal - the hexadecimal value for the color value in RGB, e.g. 0xc08000. The leading "0xc" is added to the value.
3. HTML - the hex triplet format required for display in an HTML document, e.g. #0080C0. The leading "#" is added to the value.
4. RGB (r,g,b) - the RGB hex values separated by commas, e.g. RGB(0x00,0x80,0xc0). The leading "RGB" is added to the value.

When the dialog is first displayed, the color value will default to the selected color (if there is a value selected) in the active file. UltraEdit will try and determine the format of this also based on the selection.

When you click on OK, the color value shown will be inserted into the document, replacing the current selection if a selection is made.
