is there a working color picker control in Windows Phone 7?

Question

I need a color picker control in my Windows Phone 7 project. I've tried the controls in Silverlight Contrib but I cannot make it work in WP7 project. There is even a discussion with the same question but there's no replies. How can I use the control? Or is there a substitute I can use?

Answer 1

Depending on how many colors you need, then this blog provides a page like the "Accent" one in settings - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/priozersk/archive/2010/09/17/customizing-picker-box-dialog.aspx

Answer 2

While not a pre-built control, per se, Petzold has a pretty good write-up on using Items controls and uses colors as one of his main examples.

You can find these in Programming Windows Phone 7, Chapter 17, sections 2, 3 and 4.
