# Drop-Down Direction

## Content



By default, when the user clicks the C1ColorPicker control's drop-down arrow at run-time the color picker will appear below the control, and, if that is not possible, above the control. However, you can customize where you would like the color picker to appear by setting the [C1ColorPicker.DropDownDirection](/componentone/api/wpf/online-colorpicker5/dotnet-api/C1.WPF.ColorPicker/C1.WPF.ColorPicker.C1ColorPicker.DropDownDirection.html) property.

You can set the **C1ColorPicker.DropDownDirection** property to one of the following options:

| **Event** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| BelowOrAbove (default) | Tries to open the drop-down **C1ComboBox** below the header. If it is not possible tries to open above it. |
| AboveOrBelow | Tries to open the drop-down **C1ComboBox** above the header. If it is not possible tries to open below it. |
| ForceBelow |   Forces the drop-down **C1ComboBox** to open below the header.   |
| ForceAbove | Forces the **C1ComboBox** content to open above the header. |
