Add ToolbarColorSelector to DXToolbar

Use the ItemsSource property to bind the ToolbarColorSelector to a collection of colors that you want to display.

The following code sample displays a ToolbarColorSelector and binds it to a collection of colors:

<ContentPage ...
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ToolbarColorSelectorApp"
             xmlns:dxc="clr-namespace:DevExpress.Maui.Controls;assembly=DevExpress.Maui.Controls">
    <ContentPage.BindingContext>
        <local:MainViewModel/>
    </ContentPage.BindingContext>
    <Grid>
        <dxc:DXToolbar>
            <dxc:ToolbarColorSelector ItemsSource="{Binding Colors}"/>
            <!-- ... -->
        </dxc:DXToolbar>
    </Grid>
</ContentPage>
namespace ToolbarColorSelectorApp {
    public class MainViewModel {
        public Color[] Colors { get; } = new Color[]{
            Color.FromArgb("#FF0000"),
            Color.FromArgb("#00FF00"),
            Color.FromArgb("#0000FF")
            };
    }
}

Handle Taps

You can use the SelectedColorChanged event to handle a tap on a ToolbarColorSelector item.

You can also use the Command property to specify a command that is invoked when a user taps a ToolbarColorSelector. You can define the CommandParameter property to specify a command’s parameter.

The following code sample creates a command that displays an alert with the text that contains the HEX of the selected item:

<ContentPage ...
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ToolbarColorSelectorApp"/>
    <ContentPage.BindingContext>
        <local:MainViewModel/>
    </ContentPage.BindingContext>
    <Grid>
        <dxc:DXToolbar>
            <dxc:ToolbarColorSelector x:Name="colorselector" Command="{Binding TapItemCommand}" 
                                      CommandParameter="{Binding SelectedColor, Source={x:Reference colorselector}}"/>
            <!-- ... -->
        </dxc:DXToolbar>
    </Grid>
</ContentPage>
public class MainViewModel: INotifyPropertyChanged {
    public ICommand TapItemCommand { get; set; }
    public MainViewModel() {
        this.TapItemCommand = new Command<Color>(OnItemTap);
    }

    private async void OnItemTap(Color tappedcolor) {
        await Application.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Color Selected", "The "+tappedcolor.ToHex()+" item is tapped", "Ok");
    }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
    private void OnPropertyChanged( string propertyName = "") {
        PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
    }
}

When an item is pressed, you can use PressedScale property to specify its scale factor.
