By default the C1ColorPicker control displays recent colors in the Basic tab of the color picker window. For more information, see Recent Colors. If you choose, you prevent recent colors from being displayed at design time, in XAML, and in code.

At Design Time in Blend

To prevent recent colors from being displayed at run time, complete the following steps:

1. Click the C1ColorPicker control once to select it.
2. Navigate to the Properties window.
3. Locate the ShowRecentColors property and set it to False.

In XAML

To prevent recent colors from being displayed add ShowRecentColors="False" to the <c1: C1ColorPicker> tag so that it appears similar to the following:

<c1:C1ColorPicker Name="C1ColorPicker1" ShowRecentColors="False" Margin="296,98,273,0" Height="45" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>

In Code

To prevent recent colors from being displayed, add the following code to your project:

this.c1ColorPicker1.ShowRecentColors = false;

Me.C1ColorPicker1.ShowRecentColors = False

Run the application and observe:
