Can a custom palette be specified for the color picker? |

Hello Yes, you can specify your own custom palette for the color picker. The WPF Elements pack comes with 2 types of color picker controls. One of them is a drop down palette of colors similar to the one seen in Microsoft office. The other color picker contains a drop down tab panel with 3 different modes for picking colors, including a color palette. Both of these controls have a settable Palette property which is a list of NamedColor objects. A named color is simply made up of a name and a color, but you don't need to set the name if you don't need to. By creating your own list of named colors and setting the Palette property, you can provide your own custom color palette. Also, you can style the color picker to arrange the colors however you want if you don't want to use the standard Microsoft palette layout. You can get details about styling a color palette by reading this blog post. It's aimed at the Silverlight color picker, but you can use the same technique for the WPF one. Let me know if you need more information. Cheers |
