Question

I Don't know,how to set colorChannel property of ColorPickerSlider dynamically in c#.I need ColorPickerSlider like the picture i added,based on color choosen from colorSpectrum.I don't Want to use ColorPicker Element.I need this as Separate Component.

ColorSpectrum ColorSpectrum = new ColorSpectrum();
ColorPickerSlider ColorPickerSlider = new ColorPickerSlider();
ColorPickerSlider.ColorChannel=???????;

Answer 1

In terms of style, we can consider a combined approach:

Rectangle + ColorPickerSlider

Use Rectangle as the background and ColorPickerSlider as the actual function slider.

<Grid Width="300" Height="40">
    <Rectangle Height="15" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="300" x:Name="BackgroundRect"/>
    <ColorPickerSlider ColorChannel="Hue" Style="{StaticResource ColorPickerSliderStyle}"/>
</Grid>

Modify Rectangle background color

var stopCollection = new GradientStopCollection();
stopCollection.Add(new GradientStop() { Color = Colors.Black, Offset=0 });
stopCollection.Add(new GradientStop() { Color = Colors.Purple, Offset=1 });
var brush = new LinearGradientBrush(stopCollection,0);
BackgroundRect.Fill = brush;

ColorPickerSliderStyle

<Style x:Key="ColorPickerSliderStyle" TargetType="ColorPickerSlider">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="Slider">
                <Grid>
                    <Grid.Resources>
                        <Style x:Key="SliderThumbStyle" TargetType="Thumb">
                            <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0" />
                            <Setter Property="Background" Value="{ThemeResource ColorPickerSliderThumbBackground}" />
                            <Setter Property="Template">

About calculating gradient color

We have two colors: black and purple:

Black (RGB): 0 0 0

Purple (RGB): 128 0 128

Let 's assume that the Thumb of ColorPickerSlider is in the middle, with a value of 50 (the maximum value of Slider is 100)

So we can get the middle color as (RGB) 64 0 64
