Setting NoColor field

[Charles Bates]

Hello --

I see that I can set the NoColorText property; is it possible to set the NoColor field?  

Is it possible to distinguish the user clicking on the NoColor field from the user clicking on a color in the main palette?

Thanks for any tips....

Hi Charles Bates,

Unfortunately there is no property that can be used for setting the NoColor field, you can only set its visibility by using NoColorVisibility property.
The only event that RadColorPicker/RadColorSelected expose is SelectedColorChanged that is fired every time when you select some color (either some of the pallets color or the NoColor field).

Hi Charles Bates,

Your suggestion about the NoColor field is already added in our ToDo list and we will add an apropriate property that handles this functionality for some of the next minor releases (probably the next weeks internal build).

As an alternative, you (Telerik) could just set the no-color color to #00000000.  This way the selected color would have an opacity of zero, i.e no color, and any underlying color would show through.  As it is, we can't distinguish between selecting black and no color.  Either way, black (#FF000000) is the selected color.  So picking no color will always result in black.

Has this been resolved yet?  Until it's resolved, we can't pick black as a color, since black = no color.

3 months later this is still an important issue for me.

I just need to distinguish whether the user selects no color or black.  If you just return any color with an opacity of zero for no color, I can distinguish that.  So for instance, return #00000000.  This would be easier than adding a NoColorColor property, although that will certainly solve my problem.

Thanks,

Terry

Hi Terry,

With the coming service pack the RadColorPicker comes with an additional property called AutomaticColor which you can set in order to change the color of the NoColor field.
