While there are a lot of articles about color pickers and dialogs, the eyedropper is rarely included. If it is included, it's usually hard wired into the color picker, making it difficult to drop into other projects. The current graphics application that I'm working on called for an eyedropper, so after some Googling and CodeProject research, I decided to create my own custom eyedropper control. I've called this Adobe Eyedropper control because the eyedropper image is actually screen copied from... |

This is a custom control, a useful, good alternative to standard ColorDialog from C# standard controls (dialogs). You can personalize the color list adding only the colors you want. The visual aspect, I hope, is professional.
Let's start!
I use Visual C# Express edition. Open a new C# project (Windows application). Right click on properties window and chose "Add new Item" from the menu that appears.... |

This colour picker allows you to easily choose a colour either using RGB or HSV, it includes an alpha slider (that can be disabled or hidden, if needed), and it displays the colour value in hexadecimal. The code is fully written using Windows API, without MFC.... |

The Paint_Scale_Three_Colors component intends to provide developers with an easy way to lookup colors linearly interpolated between three colors, with an option to make sure that the middle color hits zero. Given a range of data-values (of type Single), the paint-scale assigns a low color, middle color, and high color such that, when given another value in that range, the paint_scale returns a color appropriately weighted, given the high value, the low value, and the value you've given.... |

For many years I have been using my XColourPicker control, which I based on Chris Maunder's excellent color picker control. Recently my project manager asked me why I wasn't using a control with a modern look. That's when I realized that my control still had the flat Windows 2000 look, even when used in a themed app:... |

I began this project with a desire to build a color picker which met three requirements:
a large display area for showing the current color,
ability to adjust each component of both the HSV and RGB color models independently, and
make the relationships between the various color components clear and intuitive so that when you adjust one, you know ahead of time what the effect will be.
I specifically wanted to get away from the color "swatch" that is so common.... |

When developing web-pages or graphics we frequently need a tool that will give us the RGB value of the color of a particular region in some other application's window. An example could be that you need to know the background color of a JPG image so that you can use the same color for the background of the webpage on which you will display the image. ColorFinder comes in handy exactly for this. You can use this tool to pick color from any pixel on the desktop.... |

Recently, I needed a colour picker for a project. I found three articles on CodeProject on which I based my own control :
Office 97 style Colour Picker control
A color picker button

A color picker... isn't there a bunch of those out there already? Yeah, but not really what I needed. There are some cool ones out there, but they were either too big, or too limited. Besides, I enjoy the challenge. What I wanted was to be able to easily select a color from a color gradient bar and adjust the brightness and saturation (HSB). Again, already out there, but I wanted a smaller footprint. I didn't want the control taking up most of my form area, and I didn't want to have to open a se... |

In an effort to have the latest and greatest wizz-bang features in my programs I unashamedly ripped of the colour picker from Office 97.
Initially I tried to modify an owner drawn combo box and combine that with a multicolumn combobox, but current multicolumn combo boxes are really just a single column with dividing lines drawn in. I then decided to write the whole thing from scratch based on a button, since it would at least give me a BN_CLICKED notification to get things started.... |

Recently, I was working on a WPF application which required a color picker for setting colors of various graph elements within the application. At first, this seemed like a five minute task for me as I was quite confident that I would get one for free on the internet. I was quite right until I was told that it should have a look and feel like that of Office 2007 color picker. Thus I built my own and here it is.... |

Visually the XColorHexagonCtrl control has two separate areas of user interaction, a large hexagon comprised of many smaller hexagon cells, each displaying a different color; and underneath that, grayscale hexagon cells that include a large white and a large black cell. In actual use, both areas function the same, with only one noticeable difference, concerning the behavior of the two cells filled with the color white (#FFFFFF). When the small white cell is clicked, the large white cell is also ... |

Every Windows programmer and user knows color chooser controls and dialogs. Surely you see several types of them in several programs. One type of these controls could be a Color Combo Box. I need a color chooser combo box control in one of my projects, to easily select color. Because I couldn't find a suitable one; the best way was to create it myself.... |

For a project I'm working on I needed something more stylish than the standard color dialog which comes with .NET, so I decided to make a color picker dialog of my own. I used the one found at Microsoft Office (for choosing the font color) as a souce of inspiration (in fact, I shamelessly copied it) - I used exactly the same palette of 40 colors and the same "look and feel" - only the size and distance of the little color panels is a little different in my version.... |

When developing controls for a designer environment like Visual Studio or WebMatrix, the complexities of persisting control properties as serialized HTML can come into play. In many cases, the built-in serialization of control properties as attributes or nested child tags is sufficient. There are also several code attributes available to a control developer to apply a degree of customization for this process. In some cases however, a developer requires a greater degree of control over how contro... |
