Cyotek.Windows.Forms.ColorPickers Control Collection
The Cyotek.Windows.Forms.ColorPickers library contains a
series of custom controls and utility classes for Windows Forms
applications that work with colours. Controls are available to
allow colour selection via a HSL ColorWheel, a ColorGrid
with many customisation options, a ColorEditor for entering
colours via RGB or HSL, and a ScreenColorPicker for capturing
colours from running applications.
Color palettes can be loaded and saved in a number of different formats, including Adobe PhotoShop Color Swatch files, JASC Palettes, Gimp Palettes and more (see Color Palettes and External Palette Files below).
For more information on these controls, see the [articles tagged
with colorpicker][blogtag] at cyotek.com.
Controls
There are three primary controls (ColorGrid, ColorWheel and
ColorEditor), along with 5 utility controls
(ScreenColorPicker, RgbaColorSlider, HueColorSlider,
LightnessColorSlider and SaturationColorSlider), a
management component (ColorEditorManager) and one dialog
(ColorPickerDialog). Combined together, these provide a decent
array of tools for colour selection.
ColorGrid Control
This control displays a grid of colours, and supports both a primary palette, and a custom colour palette. Several properties are available for configuring the appearing of the control, and there are behaviour options too, such as built in editing of colours and support for automatically adding new colours not in the primary palette.
ColorWheel Control
This control displays a radial wheel of RGB colours and allows selection from any point in the wheel. Not much in the way of customisation for this control!
ColorSlider Controls
A bunch of controls (inheriting from a single base) that allow selection of values via a colourful bar. Similar to the control you have a few options for specifying the drag handle's position and bar orientation.
