==Limitations== | |||
[[File:ColorPickerTools.jpg|320px|right|thumb|ColorTools.]] | |||
The color picker has three main limitations: | |||
*You have no way to know exactly which color is chosen (no color code) | |||
*You can't copy color values from one instance of the color picker to another one | |||
*You cannot move the color picker in case it obscures another underlying frame | |||
All these problems are solved with the addon [http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/colortools.aspx ColorTools ]. | |||
==Note== | |||
As [[User:Exawatt|Exawatt]] stated, ColorPickerFrame:SetColorRGB(R, G, B) will execute ColorPickerFrame.func | |||
This is very important when you're reusing ColorPickerFrame with another callback function. In that case make sure you set the new callback before you call SetColorRGB(R, G, B) | |||
