ColorDialog QML Type

A native platform color dialog is currently available on the following platforms:

• macOS

• Linux (when running with the GTK+ platform theme)

The Qt Labs Platform module uses Qt Widgets as a fallback on platforms that do not have a native implementation available. Therefore, applications that use types from the Qt Labs Platform module should link to QtWidgets and use QApplication instead of QGuiApplication.

To link against the QtWidgets library, add the following to your qmake project file:

QT += widgets

Create an instance of QApplication in main():

#include <QApplication>
#include <QQmlApplicationEngine>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
    engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));
    return app.exec();
}

This property holds the final accepted color.

Unlike the currentColor property, the color property is not updated while the user is selecting colors in the dialog, but only after the final selection has been made. That is, when the user has clicked OK to accept a color. Alternatively, the accepted() signal can be handled to get the final selection.

This property holds the currently selected color in the dialog.

Unlike the color property, the currentColor property is updated while the user is selecting colors in the dialog, even before the final selection has been made.

This property holds the various options that affect the look and feel of the dialog.

By default, all options are disabled.

Options should be set before showing the dialog. Setting them while the dialog is visible is not guaranteed to have an immediate effect on the dialog (depending on the option and on the platform).
