The ASPxColorEdit control enables users to select a color from a dropdown window that contains a color palette. This allows users to modify colors for different elements on a page.

ASPxColorEdit offers the following features.

• Easy Color Selection

  The ASPxColorEdit editor allows users to select colors from a color palette in the editor’s dropdown window. If the AllowUserInput property value is set to true, users can type a color code directly into the editor’s text box in hexadecimal notation (HEX) for RGB color values (longhand or shorthand, such as “#F0F“ or “#D8D8D8“) or RGB color formats (for example, “rgb(255,0,0)“). Users can also type HTML color names (for instance, “red“, “green“), which are then automatically converted to color codes.

• Custom Color Picker

  Users can use an optional color picker to select a custom color. Set the ASPxColorEdit.EnableCustomColors property to true to display a custom color section in the editor’s drop-down window (the default setting is false).

• Color on Error

  When a user inputs the wrong color code, you can set the editor to automatically select the previous valid color or a null value. Use the ASPxColorEdit.ColorOnError property to do this. Set it to Undo to automatically select the previous valid color, or set it to Null to select a null value.

• Built-in Validation

  The ASPxColorEdit allows you to validate its value. See the following topic to learn more: Validation.

• Full-Featured Client-Side API

  The ASPxClientColorEdit object is the client-side equivalent of the ASPxColorEdit control. This object exposes the control’s comprehensive client-side API.

  Method	Description
  ASPxClientColorEdit.ColorChanged	Occurs on the client after a user changes the selected color in the color editor.
  ASPxClientColorEdit.GetColor	Returns the color editor’s value.
  ASPxClientColorEdit.SetColor	Specifies the color value for the color editor.
