18 Oct 2021 / 3 minutes to read

Inline

By default, the ColorPicker will be rendered using SplitButton and open the pop-up to access the ColorPicker. To render the ColorPicker container alone and to access it directly, render it as inline. It can be achieved by setting the inline property to true.

The following sample shows the inline type rendering of ColorPicker.

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));

The showButtons property is disabled in this sample because the control buttons are not needed for inline type. To know about the control buttons functionality, refer to the showButtons sample.
