\class BColorControl
\ingroup interface
\ingroup libbe
\brief BColorControl displays an on-screen color picker.
The value of the color control is a rgb_color data structure
containing a 32-bit color. If a message is specified in the
constructor then the message is sent to a target in response to
changes in the color value.
The color value is initially set to 0 which corresponds to black.
To set the color of the color control use the SetValue() method.
An example of creating a color control looks like this:
\code
colorControl = new BColorControl(BPoint(0, 0), B_CELLS_32x8, 7.0,
"ColorControl", new BMessage(kValueChanged));
colorControl->SetValue(0x336698);
\endcode
A BColorControl contains four color ramps to set the red, green,
and blue components of the color control value. A greyscale slider
is provided to easily select black, white, and shades of grey. The color
control also contains three child BTextControl objects used to set the
color by typing in a number between 0 and 255 for the red, green, and
blue components of the color value.
\image html BColorControl_example.png
If the screen is set to 8-bit (256) colors then the color ramps are
replaced with a palette of color cells.
\image html BColorControl_example_256_colors.png
You can set the size of these cells by calling the SetCellSize() method.

\fn BColorControl::BColorControl(BPoint leftTop,
color_control_layout layout, float cellSize, const char *name,
BMessage *message = NULL, bool bufferedDrawing = false)
\brief Constructs a new color control object.
\param leftTop location of the left top corner of the frame rectangle
relative to the parent view.
\param layout The \a layout of the BColorControl. See the
#color_control_layout enum for more information. Color control
layout options include:
- \c B_CELLS_4x64
- \c B_CELLS_8x32
- \c B_CELLS_16x16
- \c B_CELLS_32x8
- \c B_CELLS_32x8
\param cellSize The size of the sides of the color cell.
\param name The name of the color control.
\param message The optional \a message to send to a target in response
to a change in color value.
\param bufferedDrawing If \c true, all on-screen changes are first
made to an off-screen bitmap and then copied to the screen
making the drawing smoother, but requiring more memory
(currently unused).
*/
/*!
\fn BColorControl::BColorControl(BMessage* archive)
\brief Constructs a BColorControl object from an \a archive message.
This method is usually not called directly. If you want to build a
color control from a message you should call Instantiate() which can
handle errors properly.
If the \a archive deep, the BColorControl object will also unarchive
each of its child views recursively.
\param archive The \a archive message to restore from.

- \c B_CELLS_8x32
- \c B_CELLS_16x16
- \c B_CELLS_32x8

/*!
\fn void BColorControl::AttachedToWindow()
\brief Hook method that is called when the object is attached to a

This method also sets the view color and low color of the color control
to be the same as its parent's view color and sets the red, green, and
blue BTextControl color values.

/*!
\fn void BColorControl::Draw(BRect updateRect)
\brief Draws the area of the color control that intersects \a updateRect.
\note This is an hook method called by the Interface Kit, you don't
have to call it yourself. If you need to forcefully redraw the color
control consider calling Invalidate() instead.
\param updateRect The area to be drawn.
