The DropDownColorPicker is a huge improvement over what we were using previously, though it is missing a few things that would enhance usability. Most of these can be added by defining a custom DropDownTemplate and a few converters, but the result isn't as polished as would be ideal. Suggestions go as such: 1) Ability to display hexadecimal color code next to the color swatch (when the dropdown is closed) rather than the color name. 2) Ability to edit the hexadecimal color code in the drop down, should support pasting from plain text. 3) Ability to quickly edit the hexadecimal color code without opening the drop down (acting like a textbox in this case). 4) Ability to edit HSV values directly (numeric text boxes and/or sliders) in the drop down. |

Hello Thanks for these suggestions, we'll be able to add all these features. It will take some time to finish them all off but I'll keep you posted on the progress. Jason Fauchelle |

Hello I have implemented a ColorTextBox control which can display and allow users to edit a hexadecimal encoding of the selected color. I'll give you more information about this when I've implemented the HSV sliders as well. Jason Fauchelle |

Hello Here is a blog post that contains all the information you need to know about using the new ColorTextBox and HSV sliders. http://www.mindscapehq.com/blog/index.php/2012/07/19/wpf-elements-new-color-picker-features/. Near the end is a code example for modifying the DropDownColorPicker templates to include a ColorTextBox in the header, and the HSV sliders in the drop down. Let me know if you have any questions about these new features. Jason Fauchelle |
