# TCustomColorBox.Selected

The TColor value for the selected item in the combo-box control.

## Declaration

Source position: colorbox.pas line 88

`public property TCustomColorBox.Selected : TColor read GetSelected write SetSelected default clBlack;`

## Description

Selected is a TColor property with the color for the selected item in combo-box control. The default value for the property is clBlack.

Selected contains the value in Colors found at the position in ItemIndex. If ItemIndex is -1 (for no selection) or the handle for the control has not been assigned, the existing TColor value in the member is returned as the property value.

Setting a new value for the property causes the values in Colors to be searched, and the ItemIndex is set to the location for the color value. If the new value is not in Colors, ItemIndex is set to -1. The inherited Change method is called to signal the OnChange event handler (when assigned).
