# ColourWheelEvent(ev:EventHandler) hash function

Please note the Android and Windows implementations of SimpleHMI have been deprecated.  Both were little used and have been superseded by the HMI series of SPLat Controllers.

Valid for use with hash command: HMI. Can also be spelled ColorWheelEvent.

Implemented on the following platforms: Android

Interactive Colour selector for RGB LED controls.

Displays a colour wheel image (colour picker) at the top of the screen, scaled to fill the width. Raises events (GoSub EventHandler) as the Enduser moves the touch across the wheel. The non-coloured parts of the colour wheel image are transparent, so the background colour will show through. However, if the touch wanders into those areas the function returns black. The small dots provide pure R, G, B and white colours.

In EventHandler you can retrieve the RGB colour values (range 0-255) by 3 successive COMRx_fGetNum 255 instructions.

The following screen capture shows the colour wheel. The buttons at the bottom are separately generated by the target app.
