Event Attributes

change String

Fires when a color was selected, either by clicking on it (in the simple picker), by clicking ENTER or by pressing "Apply" in the HSV picker.

For additional information check the change event documentation.

Example

<kendo:colorPicker change="handle_change">

    }
</script>

select String

Fires as a new color is displayed in the drop-down picker. This is not necessarily the "final" value; for example this event triggers when the sliders in the HSV selector are dragged, but then pressing ESC would cancel the selection and the color will revert to the original value.

Example

<kendo:colorPicker select="handle_select">
</kendo:colorPicker>
<script>
    function handle_select(e) {
        // Code to handle the select event.
    }
</script>
