Hello,

I am using silverlight XamComoEditor. In my scenario I need to bind string collection to the comboeditor. I have enabled editing. I got an exception when I entered a new item since the new String object was not getting created. I found a workaround for that.

My problem is when I select a value from the dropdown list, nothing gets selected i.e the selection is not retained. When I set the 'IsEditable' property to false, the item gets selected. But when I set it to True, the selection stops working. I guess I must be missing somthing.

Can anyone help me to make this work...

View is Like this: 

<

 Code Behind is like this:

public partial class MainPage : UserControl
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            ViewModel vm = new ViewModel();
            this.DataContext = vm;
        }

        private void XamComboEditor_DataObjectRequested(object sender, Infragistics.HandleableObjectGenerationEventArgs e)
        {

            List<UIElement> items = new List<UIElement>();

            GetChildren(((XamComboEditor)sender), typeof(TextBox), ref items);

            TextBox txtbox = (TextBox)items[0];           

            String str = new String(txtbox.Text.ToCharArray());

            e.NewObject = str;
            e.Handled = true;
        }

        private void GetChildren(UIElement parent, Type targetType, ref List<UIElement> children)
        {
            int count = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parent);
            if (count > 0)
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
                {
                    UIElement child = (UIElement)VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parent, i);
                    if (child.GetType() == targetType)
                    {
                        children.Add(child);
                        break;
                    }
                    GetChildren(child, targetType, ref children);
                }
            }
        }
    }

ViewModel is like this:

public class ViewModel
    {
        private ObservableCollection<string> stringCollection = new ObservableCollection<string>();

        public ObservableCollection<string> StringCollection
        {
            get { return stringCollection; }
            set { stringCollection = value; }
        }

        public ViewModel()
        {
            stringCollection.Add("test1");
            stringCollection.Add("test2");
            stringCollection.Add("test3");
            stringCollection.Add("test4");
            stringCollection.Add("test4");
            stringCollection.Add("test6");
        }

    }

 Thanks,
