Color Picker TSR

[SMcNeill]

Or you can add the following line to end the program with CTRL + ALT + Q. 

Code: (Select All)

If GetAsyncKeyState(&H11) _Andalso GetAsyncKeyState(&H12) _Andalso GetAsyncKeyState(&H51) Then System

I'd thought of doing something similar as well, but Windows has so many dang reserved keys and key combos, and then Word and Explorer and everything else has key combos reserved...  In the end, I decided to keep my fingerprint as simple as possible and not not take another key combo for a possible conflict on anyone's system.

The method I tend to use for termination (if I really want to terminate it) is:
1)CTRL-ALT-K to pop up the display with the hex values.
2)At this point there should be an icon down on the task bar representing it.  Right click it and then "End Task".

But with the minimal resources it uses, I don't think I'll ever really need to bother to terminate it completely.  I like the idea of a quick and simple pop-up to get a color value for anything on my screen. 

(I'm still debating a CTRL-ALT-Right Click, or such, to trigger a "copy to clipboard" event for myself, so it'll store that value and I won't have to remember it and type it in elsewhere, but that too is debatable just for the number of already reserved combos and I'm not certain I'd actually want to overwrite my clipboard contents for something so minor.  At most, it's just 8 letters to remember...)
