Description

Creates a color picker user control on the user window thats is specified by windowID.

A color picker allows the user to specify a color, using either the predefined colors, or by bringing up the custom color map.

The control is initially placed in the top-left corner of the user window, and must be placed by using the -pos option, or by using the setControlPos command.

The command returns the Control ID of the user control, which should be saved for later operations on the control.
