[Solved] RadColorEditor alpha as byte or 255 rather than percentage?

[David]

Hi there,

In the color editor, is there a mechanism to have alpha show as 0... 255 rather than as a percentage?  Our users are accustomed to working with these colors as 4x byte values for consistency.

I don't think I see a setting similar to AlphaSettingsVisibility, but I thought I'd ask to see whether I've missed anything.

Thanks!

Hello David,

Currently, this requirement is not possible with the RadColorEditor as the RadMaskedNumericInput and the RadSlider elements are used for specifying the alpha value of the color work between 0 and 1. Internally, after the alpha value is updated, it is multiplied by 255 and converted to a byte, which cannot be intercepted and changed for the time being. 

With this in mind, I logged a new feature request in our feedback portal, to provide an option to specify the alpha in the range of 0 to 255. It can be found at the following link where it can be voted for, as well as followed, in order to get notified via e-mail when its status gets changed:

ColorEditor: Add an option to specify the range for the alpha value of the color to between 0 and 255

In addition, as a token of gratitude for bringing this to our attention, I updated your Telerik points.

With this being said, I hope the provided information will be of help to you.

Thank you for the confirmation that it's not currently possible!  I'll follow that feature request.
