I need to preload a color picker with a list of custom colors. I see that the SelectColor method displays the standard Apple color picker. I also see that that picker allows you (via the gear menu) to create and/or load sets of custom colors. These appear to be stored in ~/Library/Colors in some opaque NSStream-based format.
My question is: assuming I can decode (and therefore create) files in this format, is there a way I can cause the picker displayed by SelectColor to preload from a file (i.e., invoke the gear menu “Open” command programmatically?
Failing that, are there other color pickers out there that I can use? I’m really trying to avoid writing my own, but I will if it comes to that.
Thanks!
