WinRT/XAML Colour Picker (using SharpDx)

I needed a colour picker for an app I’m building and it turns out no ones built a WinRT XAML one yet.

So this is my very simple colour picker!

I use bitmaps to represent the swatch (in my case i have 3 different types).

I use SharpDx to get the “Pixel Buffer” of the selected swatch

Where ever the mouse or pointer is i get the pixel under that position via the pixel buffer and from that i get the colours (RGBA)

This is what the colour picker looks like

 

This is a quick video of the colour picker :

 

Here’s the code
