  Is there a way to use the ribbon’s Office-like color picker in the C1Flexgrid control?
  
  I need a user color selector in the grid, but the MS ColorEditor is so outdated.

  Thanks,

  Hi,

  You can use the C1ColorPicker as the editor or create your own custom editor and then use it in the FlexGrid.
  
  Please refer to the “CustomEditors” sample at https://github.com/GrapeCity/ComponentOne-WinForms-Samples/tree/master/NetFramework/FlexGrid/CS/CustomEditors, it shows how you can use different types of custom editors in FlexGrid. You can also refer to the documentation at https://www.grapecity.com/componentone/docs/win/online-flexgrid/cell-editors.html.

  Hi Avnish,

  I completely forgot about that control. It works.

  Quick question: Do you know how to make the color selection open on a menustrip button? I tried the following but it opens at point 0,0.

  
        private void tsBackColor_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           var backColorPicker = new C1ColorPicker();
           backColorPicker.Location = toolStrip1.PointToScreen(new Point(tsBackColor.Bounds.X, tsBackColor.Bounds.Y));
           backColorPicker.OpenDropDown();
        }
  
  

  Thanks,

  I figured it out…

        
        private void tsBackColor_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           var backColorPicker = new C1ColorPicker();
           var point = toolStrip1.PointToScreen(new Point(tsBackColor.Bounds.X, tsBackColor.Bounds.Y));
           backColorPicker.DropDownForm.SetDesktopLocation(point.X, point.Y + toolStrip1.Height);
           backColorPicker.OpenDropDown();
        }
  
  

  Thanks again for your help.
