how does RadDiagram shapeclicked event work?

[Ali]

Hi

I'm using RadDiagram (Telerik 2012 Q2), I want to detect my selected shape in a rad diagram. There is an event named ShapeClicked in RadDiagram object, but its sender parameter is a raddiagram (I think it should be a rad shape, i.e. the shape which has been clicked), how can I get the clicked/selected shape? Also shape object has a mouseleftbutton down event which can help me do my work, but it seems that this event is raised only for the first shape object created on the diagram

I've inserted a rad color picker in my project that is used to set/change rad diagram shape colors (it works fine) but I want to enable color detection of my SELECTED shape, so that when user selects a shape, the color picker gets its color, what should I do? I'm dynamically adding shapes to my diagram (diagram.items.add)

thanks

Hi Ali,

 ShapeClicked event will work for you, the Shape clicked is given in "e.Shape" where "e"are the parameters of the event handler. 
As for the ColorPicker/ColorSelector - they provide a SelectedColor property. But the Shapes BackGround is of type Brush, same is true for the BorderBrush and Stroke. You can bind a Color to Brush (brush is represented with a sinlge color) using a Telerik.Windows.Controls.ColorToBrushConverter but the opposite is impossible - you cannot create a Color from a Brush (which is somehow a set of different colors).

Hi Jorge,

This is 6 years old thread regarding RadDiagram for Silverlight with a separate question for ColorPicker. Could you please open a new support thread with more details regarding your scenario ? Or specify what do you need to do in code - is it using ShapeClicked somehow or working with ColorPicker / Selector ?
