Well, I found a third solution:
I use my own custom color box to display colors. I fill the values (255) for
it from the AcCmEntityColor.
As for the other approaches:
1. Does not seem possible to have "invisible" Document open. Though possible
with DB, but DB!=Doc, and as Tony T. said that's what is needed for the
color box to work.
2. I could not create the fully functional CAcUiColorComboBox, using new
operator. Although my code(below) actually creates an operational
CAcUiColorComboBox, it visually consists of separate Edit and ListBox.
Probably smth. to du with subclassing and SetListBox() methods, but I drop
it for now.
CAcUiColorComboBox* m_DynamicCombo;
CRect r = CRect(100,100,200,200);
BOOL res = m_DynamicCombo->Create(
CBS_DROPDOWNLIST || CBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED || CBS_HASSTRINGS , r, this, 10055);
m_DynamicCombo->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
m_DynamicCombo->SetStyleMask(CBS_DROPDOWNLIST || CBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED ||
CBS_HASSTRINGS);
