The watermark can give directions or suggestions for users at run time, for example the default watermark text states "Select a file".</p> <p>Notice that the text appears grayed out. When a file or multiple files are selected the file(s) will appear in this text area instead and appear a darker color to be distinguished from the watermark. If a file is selected and the files are cleared from the <strong>C1FilePicker</strong> control using the <strong>ClearSelection</strong> method, the watermark will appear again.</p> <p>You can customize the watermark text by setting the Watermark property to the value you want to appear. If you do not want a watermark to appear, you can set the <strong>Watermark</strong> property to a blank value (for example, a space character).</p> </div> </div> </div><!--DXMETADATA end--> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> <!--DXMETADATA start type="FilteredItemList" scrap="CATEGORISED_LINKS" namespace="linkcategory" source="Item" filter="" NoHeader="True" NoFooter="True" format="%%replaceinquotes:value=false%%%%scrap:name=_COLLAPSIBLE_HEADER,idprefix=seealso,caption=""%%phrase:name=SeeAlso%%%%designlist:tagidentifier=seealso,itemtype=See Also%%""%%%%filtereditemlist%%</div>"--><div class="SectionHeading" id="seealsoSectionHeading"><span class="SectionHeadingIcon"><!-- --></span><span class="SectionHeadingText">See Also</span></div><div id="seealsoSectionContent" class="SectionContent"><div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="Removing a Watermark.html">Removing a Watermark</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="Changing Text Alignment.html">Changing Text Alignment</a></div> </div><!--DXMETADATA end--> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <!--DXMETADATA start type="Scrap" condition="communityenabled" name="_COMMUNITY_FOOTER" --><!--DXMETADATA end --> <!--DXMETADATA start type="Variable" name="CopyrightNotice" format="<p> </p><p> </p><hr style=""height: 1px"" /><p>%%variable%%</p>" --><p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright © <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
