About Syncfusion® WinForms Color Picker DropDown

18 Nov 20181 minute to read

The WinForms Color Picker DropDown allows .NET developers to provide a standard user interface similar to the Visual Studio .NET color picker dropdown for selecting colors in Windows Forms applications. It displays the ColorUIControl as a drop-down in combination with a button. The .NET Framework provides a color dialog control to allow applications to collect color information from users. However, the color dialog control does not provide any way to place a control within the layout of the application to collect color information. The ColorUIControl provides an easy-to-use color palette control that can be placed inline in your applications.
