easyPalette is a set of REALbasic classes that make it fast and easy to add cross-platform tearoff floating palettes to your REALbasic project.
easyPalette effectively manages the opening and closing of the palette, tracks the mouse in either the popup window, the torn off floating window or both, and handles the tear off process. The palette windows can contain grid style selection palettes of the type commonly used to select colors, patterns, line widths, arrow styles, "tools" and other objects. In fact almost any kind of data that needs to be displayed and selected in a grid can be used with easyPalette. What and how the contents of the palette is displayed and selected is up to you although modifying one of the examples will be sufficient in many cases.
What's New:
Completely updated for REALbasic 5.
As part of the update, the customisation interface has been greatly simplified, involving in many cases just three methods - Constructor, Draw and Hilite.
Other methods can be overridden to get specific behaviors such as always showing the original selection while tracking the new selection. easyPalette 1.5 comes with six example palettes that show various hiliting and customisation techniques.
The minimum version of REALbasic required for easyPalette is 4.5 (RB5 if you want to compile for win32).
Requirements:
REALbasic 4.5 or higher.
