I am trying to pre-set colorfields in my dialog, but don't get the expected result. I can only set the major RGB colors.

In my code, both

  
SetColorField(ID_COLORFIELD,Vector(255,0,0),1,1,0);   

and

  
SetColorField(ID_COLORFIELD,Vector(120,0,0),1,1,0);   

produce the same red color (255,0,0). However, using the color slide bars then lets me chose other colors ... how can I preset the ColorField to other values than 255 or 0??

Thanks, Juergen.

Use a floating point vector from 0.0 ..1 .0!

Hope it helps

That should help as that is how color values are set in C4D.

Well, though it's sadly not part of the documentation, there are hints in some examples...

However, the SDK is missing a number of overview articles with things that can be missed easily.
