wxColourPickerCtrl live update?

[thoray]

With wxColourPickerCtrl, the associated event, EVT_COLOURPICKER_CHANGED, is only sent after I choose a color from the opened WxColourDialog and then finally click 'select' to close the dialog.

Is there a way to get the the currently selected colour from the dialog without closing the dialog to much faster play with the effect of different colours? (for example, by dragging mouse over the palette to see live updates elsewhere).

I'm testing this with GTK3 platform.

Unfortunately, no.

Any ideas on what would be good way to add such functionality to application?

A patch to wx?
Use platform specific code for this dialog?

I would try to take the code from wxGenericColourDialog and build a non-modal version from it. ( <wxdir>/src/generic/colrdlgg.cpp )
