This article describes the available events of the Telerik ColorGradient for Blazor.

## FormatChanged
20+
21+
The `FormatChanged` event fires when the user clicks on the toggle button, which changes the input format. The event can help you persist the selected `Format` at a later stage.
22+
23+
When using this event, make sure to update the component `Format` programmatically in the event handler.

## ValueChanged
47+
48+
The `ValueChanged` event fires continuously while the user is dragging the component handles, or changing the textbox values.
49+
50+
When using this event, make sure to update the component `Value` programmatically in the event handler.

# ColorGradient Overview
12+
13+
The <a href = "https://www.telerik.com/blazor-ui/colorgradient" target="_blank">ColorGradient for Blazor</a> enables users to select a color from an [HSVA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV) canvas, or to type a specific RGB/HEX color value. Compared to our [ColorPalette component]({%slug colorpalette-overview%}), the ColorGradient allows selection from unlimited number of colors. It may also be preferred by advanced users.

* [Example](#example)

* [Features](#features)
19+
* [Using Multiple Input Formats](#using-multiple-input-formats)
20+
* [Supported Value Formats](#supported-value-formats)
21+
22+
## Basics
23+
24+
To use a Telerik ColorGradient for Blazor:
25+
26+
1. Add the `TelerikColorGradient` tag.
27+
1. Set its `Value` attribute to a [HEX/RGB](#supported-value-formats) `string` variable via [one-way]({%slug colorgradient-events%}#valuechanged) or [two-way](#example) binding.
28+
1. (optional) Set the [`ValueFormat` and `Format` attrbutes](#features) to the desired color format.
29+
30+
## Example
31+
32+
Here is a ColorGradient declaration and the resulting UI.
33+
34+
````CSHTML
35+
@* Blazor ColorGradient *@
36+

string Value { get; set; } = "rgb(40, 47, 137)";
41+
}

````
43+

46+
47+
## Features
48+
49+
The ColorGradient exposes the following features via its attributes:
50+
51+
* `Value` - `string` - sets the ColorGradient value in a few [different color formats](#supported-value-formats). Supports two-way binding.
52+
* `Formats` - `IEnumerable<ColorFormat>` - defines the available color formats, which the user **can see, toggle and edit** by typing. Both `Hex` and `Rgb` formats are enabled by default and the user can switch between them with a button.
53+
* `Format` - `ColorFormat` - specifies the value format, which the users **sees initially** (`ColorFormat.Rgb` by default). Supports two-way binding. The `Rgb` input format allows changing the textbox values with the Up/Down arrow keys.
54+
* `ValueFormat` - `ColorFormat` - sets the color format, which the **component will return** in the application code (`ColorFormat.Rgb` by default).
55+
* `ShowOpacityEditor` - `bool` - specifies if the user can add opacity (transparency) to the color value (`true` by default).
56+
57+
## Supported Value Formats
58+
59+
The ColorGradient accepts values by the application code in the following formats:
60+
61+
@[template](/_contentTemplates/common/coloreditors.md#value-formats)
62+
63+
Color keywords are not supported. If this is the preferred use case scenario, consider the [ColorPalette component]({%slug colorpalette-overview%}).

# ColorPicker Events
12+
13+
This article describes the available events of the Telerik ColorPicker for Blazor.
14+
15+
* [OnChange](#onchange)
16+
* [ValueChanged](#valuechanged)
17+
* [ViewChanged](#viewchanged)
18+
19+
## OnChange
20+
21+
The `OnChange` event fires when the user commits their selection with:
22+
23+
* Apply or Cancel button click
24+
* Enter keypress
25+
* Blur action (popup close)
26+
27+
Note that the `OnChange` event may also fire when the actual selected color has not changed.
28+
29+
The event type is `EventCallback<object>`. The `OnChange` event does not prevent two-way binding for the `Value` attribute.
30+
31+
````CSHTML
32+
@* Handle the ColorPicker OnChange event *@

40+

43+
{
44+
EventLog = string.Format("The selected color is: {0}", (string)newColor);
45+
}
46+
}
47+
````
48+
49+
## ValueChanged
50+
51+
The `ValueChanged` event fires when the user selects a new color and the component value changes.
52+
53+
The event type is `EventCallback<string>`. Using `ValueChanged` requires one-way binding for the `Value` attribute and manual value update in the event handler.
54+
55+
````CSHTML
56+
@* Handle the ColorPicker ValueChanged event *@

64+
{
65+
Color = newColor;
66+
}
67+
}
68+
````
69+
70+
## ViewChanged
71+
72+
The `ViewChanged` event fires when the user toggles between the popup views.
73+
74+
The event type is `EventCallback<ColorPickerView>`. Using `ViewChanged` requires one-way binding for the `View` attribute and manual value update in the event handler.

# ColorPicker Overview
12+
13+
The <a href = "https://www.telerik.com/blazor-ui/colorpicker" target="_blank">ColorPicker for Blazor</a> is an interactive component that allows color selection from a popup palette or a [HSVA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV) canvas. Users can also type a specific RGB/HEX color value manually.

15+

19+
* [Features](#features)
20+
* [Supported Value Formats](#supported-value-formats)
21+
22+
## Basics
23+
24+
To use a Telerik ColorPicker for Blazor:
25+
26+
1. Add the `TelerikColorPicker` tag.
27+
1. Set its `Value` attribute to any of the [supported HEX/RGB formats](#supported-value-formats). Use a `string` property with [one-way]({%slug colorpicker-events%}#valuechanged) or [two-way](#example) binding.
28+
1. (optional) Set the `ValueFormat` to `ColorFormat.Hex` or `ColorFormat.Rgb` if the app expects a specific color format.
29+
30+
## Example
31+
32+
Here is a simple ColorPicker declaration and the resulting UI.
33+
34+
````CSHTML
35+
@* Blazor ColorPicker *@
36+
37+
<TelerikColorPicker @bind-Value="@Color" />
38+
39+
@code {
40+
string Color { get; set; } = "rgb(40, 47, 137)";
41+
}
42+
````
43+
44+
## Interface
45+
46+
The image below reveals all ColorPicker interface elements:
47+
48+
* Main component button with the current value and a dropdown arrow (outside the popup)
49+
* View selectors (top left)
50+
* Color preview box (top right)
51+
* Current color box (below the color preview)
52+
* Clear button (top)
53+
* Palette tiles or HSV canvas with hue and opacity sliders (middle)
54+
* RGBA or HEX value textboxes (bottom)
55+
* Apply and Cancel buttons (bottom)
56+
57+
Clicking outside the ColorPicker popup acts as an **Apply** action.
58+
59+
![ColorPicker component](images/colorpicker-overview.gif)
60+
61+
## Features
62+
63+
The ColorPicker tag exposes the following features via its attributes:
64+
65+
* `Value` - `string` - sets the ColorPicker value in a few [different color formats](#supported-value-formats). Supports two-way binding.
66+
* `ValueFormat` - `ColorFormat` - sets the color format, which the component will return in the application code. By default, the property is not set and the value format will change depending on the used view: `Rgb` when selecting a color from the GradientView, and `Hex` when selecting a color from the PaletteView.
67+
* `ColorPickerViews` - `RenderFragment` - a nested container to list the [ColorPicker views]({%slug colorpicker-views%}). All views are enabled by default and the user can switch between them with buttons. Each view tag has its own configuration attributes.
68+
* `View` - `ColorPickerView` - sets the default selected [view]({%slug colorpicker-views%}) (`ColorPickerView.Gradient` by default). Supports two-way binding.
69+
* `ShowPreview` - `bool` - toggles the [current color box and the color preview box](#interface) in the popup (`true` by default).
70+
71+
* `Class` - `string` - renders a custom CSS class to the `span.k-colorpicker` element.
72+
* `Enabled` - `bool` - determines if the user can open the popup and change the value (`true` by default).
73+
74+
### Buttons
75+
76+
* `ShowButtons` - `bool` - sets the visibility of the Apply and Cancel buttons (`true` by default).
77+
* `ClearButton` - `bool` - sets the visibility of the Clear button.
78+
79+
### Custom Icon
80+
81+
The ColorPicker provides attributes to render an icon or image inside the [main component button](#interface). This icon can be used to visually distinguish different ColorPickers on the page. In such cases, the selected color is displayed below the icon.
82+
83+
Use one attribute at a time:
84+
85+
* `Icon` - `string` - specifies a [built-in font icon class]({%slug general-information/font-icons%}).
86+
* `ImageUrl` - `string` - specifies an URL for an image.
87+
* `IconClass` - `string` - sets a custom icon class.
88+
89+
90+
## Supported Value Formats
91+
92+
The ColorPicker accepts values by the application code in the following formats:
93+
94+
@[template](/_contentTemplates/common/coloreditors.md#value-formats)
95+
96+
Color keywords are not supported.
