RadColorPicker supporting RadColorEditor? Why 2 controls?

[Rob A.]

I was hoping the RadColorPicker would have built in functionality to support the RadColorEditor which is common in just about all applications from Adobe to MS Paint ... something like the attached image.

Telerik doesn't seem to provide a "one stop shop" for this functionality.  My expectation was the RadColorPicker would include the functionaltiy of the RadColorEditor, but it does not.

I can code my own solution using a new RadWindow and adding the RadColorEditor but the reason I bought Telerik is so that I wouldn't have to do this work, part of the rapid application development process.

Am I missing some simple functionality available in the RadColorPicker or is this just how it is?

Cheers, Rob.

Hello Rob,

Thank you for the shared picture. 

By default the RadColorPicker and the RadColorEditor are separate controls and there isn't an out-of-the-box integration between the two. 

That said, you can check out the First Look example of the RadColorPicker from our demos, which demonstrates how the control can be integrated with the RadColorEditor. 

On a side note, we also have a feature request logged in our feedback portal for this scenario: ColorEditor: Integrate with ColorPicker like in MS Office out of the box.

I hope you find this information helpful.
