• RadColorSelector has a SelectedColor property, which is of type Color and it is used to store selected color value.

  CopyXAML

  <telerik:RadColorSelector SelectedColor="Red" />

  where telerik points to the following namespace:

  CopyXAML

  xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"

  CopyC#

  RadColorSelector colorSelector = new RadColorSelector();
  colorSelector.SelectedColor = Colors.Red;

  CopyVB.NET

  Dim colorSelector As New RadColorSelector()
  colorSelector.SelectedColor = Colors.Red

• Whenever a color is selected the SelectedColorChanged event is raised:

  CopyC#

  colorSelector.SelectedColorChanged += new EventHandler(colorSelector_SelectedColorChanged);
  
   void colorSelector_SelectedColorChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
     RadColorSelector selector = sender as RadColorSelector;
     Color selectedColor = selector.SelectedColor;
  }

  CopyVB.NET

  colorSelector.SelectedColorChanged += New EventHandler(colorSelector_SelectedColorChanged)
  
  Private Sub colorSelector_SelectedColorChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
      Dim selector As RadColorSelector = TryCast(sender, RadColorSelector)
      Dim selectedColor As Color = selector.SelectedColor
  End Sub

You can populate the RadColorSelector with any of the built-in palettes using the ColorPreset enumeration. It has HeaderPalette, MainPalette and StandardPalette properties, which represent the corresponding parts of the selector.

• MainPalette property:

  CopyXAML

  <telerik:RadColorSelector MainPalette="Grayscale" />

  CopyC#

  RadColorSelector colorSelector = new RadColorSelector();
  colorSelector.MainPalette = ColorPreset.Grayscale;

  CopyVB.NET

  Dim colorSelector As New RadColorSelector()
  colorSelector.MainPalette = ColorPreset.Grayscale

• HeaderPalette property:

  CopyXAML

  <telerik:RadColorSelector HeaderPalette="Office" />

  CopyC#

  RadColorSelector colorSelector = new RadColorSelector();
  colorSelector.HeaderPalette = ColorPreset.Office;

  CopyVB.NET

  Dim colorSelector As New RadColorSelector()
  colorSelector.HeaderPalette = ColorPreset.Office

• StandardPalette property:

  CopyXAML

  <telerik:RadColorSelector StandardPalette="Standard" />

  CopyC#

  RadColorSelector colorSelector = new RadColorSelector();
  colorSelector.StandardPalette = ColorPreset.Standard;

  CopyVB.NET

  Dim colorSelector As New RadColorSelector()
  colorSelector.StandardPalette = ColorPreset.Standard

• If you prefer to use your own collection of Colors you can always use HeaderPaletteItemsSource, MainPaletteItemsSource and StandardPaletteItemsSource.

  • StandardPaletteItemSource property

    CopyXAML

    <telerik:RadColorSelector StandardPaletteItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource ColorList}}" />

    CopyC#

    RadColorSelector colorSelector = new RadColorSelector();
    colorSelector.StandardPaletteVisibility = Visibility.Visible;
    Collection<Color> colors = new Collection<Color>();
    colors.Add(Colors.Red);
    colors.Add(Colors.Green);
    colors.Add(Colors.Blue);
    colorSelector.StandardPaletteItemsSource = colors;

    CopyVB.NET

    Dim colorSelector As New RadColorSelector()
    colorSelector.StandardPaletteVisibility = Visibility.Visible
    Dim colors As New Collection(Of Color)()
    _colors.Add(Colors.Red)
    _colors.Add(Colors.Green)
    _colors.Add(Colors.Blue)
    _colorSelector.StandardPaletteItemsSource = _colors

  • HeaderPaletteItemSource property

    CopyXAML

    <telerik:RadColorSelector HeaderPaletteItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource ColorList}}" />

    CopyC#

    RadColorSelector colorSelector = new RadColorSelector();
    colorSelector.HeaderPaletteVisibility = Visibility.Visible;
    Collection<Color> colors = new Collection<Color>();
    colors.Add(Colors.Red);
    colors.Add(Colors.Green);
    colors.Add(Colors.Blue);
    colorSelector.HeaderPaletteItemsSource = colors;

    CopyVB.NET

    Dim colorSelector As New RadColorSelector()
    colorSelector.HeaderPaletteVisibility = Visibility.Visible
    Dim _colors As New Collection(Of Color)()
    _colors.Add(Colors.Red)
    _colors.Add(Colors.Green)
    _colors.Add(Colors.Blue)
    colorSelector.HeaderPaletteItemsSource = _colors

  • MainPaletteItemSource property

    CopyXAML

    <telerik:RadColorSelector MainPaletteItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource ColorList}}" />

    CopyC#

    RadColorSelector colorSelector = new RadColorSelector();
    Collection<Color> colors = new Collection<Color>();
    colors.Add(Colors.Red);
    colors.Add(Colors.Green);
    colors.Add(Colors.Blue);
    colorSelector.MainPaletteItemsSource = colors;

    CopyVB.NET

    Dim colorSelector As New RadColorSelector()
    Dim _colors As New Collection(Of Color)()
    _colors.Add(Colors.Red)
    _colors.Add(Colors.Green)
    _colors.Add(Colors.Blue)
    colorSelector.MainPaletteItemsSource = _colors
