Color Picker Display

[gautham]

The color picker image shown in the First Look, suits if one needs to change text color(A). In my case i just need to show the selected color (the A gives a wrong message to the user). Is there a way to to just show the selected color in the display ?

Hello gautham,

Please take a look at the 4-th ColorPicker in the  FirstLook example:

http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#ColorPicker/FirstLook

All you need to do is only to set some style to ColorButtonStyle: ColorButtonStyle="{StaticResource ColorButtonStyle}". In the above example you can see one option for custom ColorButtonStyle.

Another option is to edit the control template in Blend. For more information please visit the following article:

I hope that this will help you. Please let us know if you have any other questions or you need some more help.

if you want just a rectangle  with the selected color put this in your resources section

  <Style x:Key="ColorButtonStyle" TargetType="Button">
            <Setter Property="Template">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
                        <Grid Height="25" Width="23">

                            <Border x:Name="BackgroundGradient" BorderThickness="1"
                                        Background="Transparent" >
                                <Grid Height="25" Width="23">
                           
                                   
                                    <Rectangle Width="13" Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}"
                                                Height="13"  VerticalAlignment="Center" />
                                </Grid>
                            </Border>
                        </Grid>
                    </ControlTemplate>
