How to get a color from point in layout (InDesign)?

Hi All,
I am trying to find RGB value of a color at a mouse location same as Eye-Dropper tool, I checked some HitTest methods but couldn't figure out which interface will give me color?
Any pointers in right direction would be appreciated.

(Intended as reply to the OP)
In my good old Windows InDesign CS2 it works as follows:
1. Open Window > Colour
2. Press ALT and click by Eyedropper at any position
3. Read RGB numbers
This is valid for sequential measurement. Read helptext "Eyedropper".
Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

    Using photoshop (PS), make PS so you can see the colour you want, create a blank page in PS, any size does not matter, use the eyedropper tool in photoshop click inside the blank page and hold the mouse button down, move the mouse to the coloured area that you want and release mouse. As you move the mouse you will see the foreground colour change.
    Photoshop will pick up the colour under the eyedropper.

  • Please Help Get a Color from Pixel !!!!

    Is anybody know how to get a Color from pixel.
    My program is not Full Screen .
    So i think Robot.getPixelColor() don't suitable.
    Please Help me!

    Robot.getPixelColor() will work fine, but the problem you will have is getting the mouse set to the correct location and getting your application to know where it is: you can do it with win32 calls and JNI. Here are a few that I have found helpful--they are in a VB format:
    Public Const CLR_INVALID = &HFFFF 'not a valid pixel
    Public Const MOUSE_MOVED = &H1
    Public Const MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE = &H8000 ' absolute move
    Public Const MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = &H2 ' left button down
    Public Const MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP = &H4 ' left button up
    Public Const MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN = &H8 ' right button down
    Public Const MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP = &H10 ' right button up
    Public Const REQUEST_LEFT_CLICK = &H2D 'request left click "-"
    Public Const REQUEST_RIGHT_CLICK = &H2B 'request right click "+"

  • How to get RGB value from pixel of an image.

    hi, i need a little help... Is there any EASY way to get RGB value from point of an image? I searched javadoc but i only found very complex getRGB method working only with regions, and saving data into arrays.
    Is there any other way that can use for example image.getGraphics() (so, i mean to get RGB from point of Graphics object) ?
    Btw.: If you know, how Sprite.collidesWith(Sprite s, Boolean pixellevel) is working (with pixellevel = true), please write me. It could solve my problem too.
    Thanks

    Is there any other way that can use for example image.getGraphics() (so, i mean to get RGB from point of Graphics object) ?You can think of the graphics object like a pencil or paintbrush. Does a paintbrush know the color of the surface it is painting on? No.
    Btw.: If you know, how Sprite.collidesWith(Sprite s, Boolean pixellevel) is working (with pixellevel = true), please write me. It could solve my problem too.Download the reference implementation from this site and see for yourself.

  • How to get the values from popup window to mainwindow

    HI all,
       I want to get the details from popup window.
          i have three input fields and one search button in my main window. when i click search button it should display popup window.whenever i click on selected row of the popup window table ,values should be visible in my main window input fields.(normal tables)
       now i am able to display popup window with values.How to get the values from popup window now.
       I can anybody explain me clearly.
    Thanks&Regards
    kranthi

    Hi Kranthi,
    Every webdynpro component has a global controller called the component controller which is visible to all other controllers within the component.So whenever you want to share some data in between 2 different views you can just make it a point to use the component controller's context for the same. For your requirement (within your popups view context) you will have have to copy the component controllers context to your view. You then will have to (programmatically) fill this context with your desired data in this popup view. You can then be able to read this context from whichever view you want. I hope that this would have made it clear for you. Am also giving you an [example|http://****************/Tutorials/WebDynproABAP/Modalbox/page1.htm] which you can go through which would give you a perfect understanding of all this. In this example the user has an input field in the main view. The user enters a customer number & presses on a pushbutton. The corresponding sales orders are then displayed in a popup window for the user. The user can then select any sales order & press on a button in the popup. These values would then get copied to the table in the main view.

  • How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

    How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

    If the data is on a remote server (for example, PHP running on a web server, talking to a MySQL server) then you do this in an AIR application the same way you would do it with any Flex application (or ajax application, if you're building your AIR app in HTML/JS).
    That's a broad answer, but in fact there are lots of ways to communicate between Flex and PHP. The most common and best in most cases is to use AMFPHP (http://amfphp.org/) or the new ZEND AMF support in the Zend Framework.
    This page is a good starting point for learning about Flex and PHP communication:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_php.html
    Also, in Flash Builder 4 they've added a lot of remote-data-connection functionality, including a lot that's designed for PHP. Take a look at the Flash Builder 4 public beta for more on that: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/

  • How to get a formula from the user from a text box in a webpage

    Hi. I would like to know how to get the formula from the user who enters in a textbox. This formula can have any number of variables starting with a and goes on.
    The complexity of the formula can go upto sin, cos, ln, exp. Also user enters the minimum and maximum values of these variables. Based on a specific algorithm (which I use) I would calculate a *set of values, say 10, for each of these variables, substitute in the formula and based on the result of this formula, I select ONE suitable  value for each of the variables.
    I don't know how to get this formula (which most likely to be different each time) and substitute the values *which I found earlier.
    Kindly help me out in this issue.
    Thanks

    The textbox is the easy part. It's no different than getting a String parameter out of an HTTP request.
    The hard part is parsing the String into a "formula" for evaluation. You'll have to write a parser or find one.
    Google for "Java math expression parser" and see what you get.
    Or write your own with JavaCC.

  • How to get selected value from selectOneRadio ???

    Hi...i want to how to get selected value from selectOneRadio and use it in another page and in backing bean.
    Note i have about 10 selectOneRadio group in one page i want to know value of each one of them.
    Plzzzzzzzz i need help

    You have a datatable in which each row is a question, correct?
    Also in each row you have 5 possible answers that are in a radio, correct?
    So,
    You need to put in your datatable model, a question, and a list of answers (5 in yor case) and the selected one.
    So you will have a get to the question, an SelectItem[] list to populate the radios and another get/set to the selected question.
    ex:
    <h:selectOneRadio value="#{notas.selectedString}" id="rb">
    <f:selectItem itemValue="#{notas.valuesList}"/>
    </h:selectOneRadio>
    Search the web for examples like yours.

    I haven't tested this code.

  • How to get string value from xml in JSF??

    In JSF How to get string value from xml, .ini and properties file. I want to get string value from xml or text to JSF

    Just use the appropriate API's for that. There are enough API's out which can read/parse/write XML, ini and properties files. E.g. JAXP or DOM4J for xml files, INI4J for ini files and Sun's own java.util.Properties for propertiesfiles.
    JSF supports properties files as message bundle and resource bundle so that you can use them for error messages and/or localization.
