Steve,
I have a couple of thoughts for LDAO:
1) How about an extension to the color chart which allows the user to pick
two arbitrary colors and dither them? It could have a dialog box with two
16-color choosers in it, and that also displays the dithered result along
with an LDraw-friendly number.
2) Really minor and nit-picking: The VEC doesn't respond to keystrokes,
such as the arrow keys and page ip / page down, etc. Could you allow the
arrow keys to jump from piece to piece, and the page up / page down keys
scroll the view? Also, the VEC doesn't handle the Wheel Mouse properly.
All Wheel events are sent to the left-hand scrollbar. (1) I'm not sure if
VB5 will let you route the WM_MOUSEWHEEL event properly since it's a
relatively new event type.
3) Last, and probably the most nit-pickingest of them all: Could you make
it so that selecting a color or part will put its number into Window's
clipboard? This wouldn't help LEdit very much, but would be great for other
editors, such as the LDAO modeler.
Cheers,

1. I'm using a Logitech, but I believe it sends the same events.

| (...) I really want to do *something* with the color chart. This is definitely an idea. Having to type color numbers is unfriendly, especially in the Modeller. Maybe instead of (or in addition to) the type-in box, there could be the two drop-downs, (...) (26 years ago, 1-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
