What You've AccomplishedThe watermark appears in the text area of the C1FilePicker control by default and can give directions or suggestions for users at run time. For more information, see the Watermark Text topic. 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 Watermark property to a blank value, for example see the steps below.
At Design Time
To set the Watermark property at design time, complete the following steps:
1. Click the C1FilePicker control once to select it.
2. Navigate to the Properties window and locate the Watermark item.
3. Click in the text box next to the Watermark item, and delete the current text.
This will set the Watermark property to a blank value.
In XAML
For example, to set the Watermark property add Watermark="" to the <c1:C1FilePicker> tag so that it appears similar to the following:
<c1:C1FilePicker HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="112,36,0,0" Name="C1FilePicker1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="161" Watermark="" />
In Code
For example, to set the Watermark property, add the following code to your project:
Me.C1FilePicker1.Watermark = ""
•C#
this.c1FilePicker1.Watermark = "";
