Which control should I use in WPF browser application to get multi column Combo Box?
Thanks
Shivangi
Hello Shivangi,
I have been looking into your enquiry and since there is no such built-in functionality I can suggest you start off with the XamComboEditor and use its ComboBoxStyle property to set a style that can retemplate your items to your liking. Here is a sample xaml snippet you can check out:
<igEditors:XamComboEditor … >
<igEditors:XamComboEditor.ComboBoxStyle>
<Style TargetType="ComboBox">
<Setter Property="ItemTemplate" >
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate >
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Background="YellowGreen" >
<TextBox Width="60" Margin="1" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</igEditors:XamComboEditor.ComboBoxStyle>
</igEditors:XamComboEditor>
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you require any further assistance or clarification on the matter.

Hello Petar,Thank you for the response.When I tried to use your suggested code my application throws following error at <DataTemplate>:
"System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException was unhandledMessage: Cannot create instance of 'Page1' defined in assembly 'TestApp, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Error in markup file 'Page1.xaml' Line 1 Position 7."
Here is my code:
<StackPanel Margin="261,10,50,43" MinWidth="0" Orientation="Vertical" Opacity="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="1" Grid.RowSpan="1" CanHorizontallyScroll="True" CanVerticallyScroll="True" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">

<igEditors:XamDateTimeEditor Height="35" Name="dtToDate" Width="255" Padding="10" Margin="2" FontSize="9" FontWeight="Bold" AlwaysValidate="True" AutoFillDate="MonthAndYear"></igEditors:XamDateTimeEditor>

Hi Shivangi,
Yes. You need a DataSource with at least one item. And for in order to get the specific data from the item you should also add some Bindings to the TextBoxes inside the template.
Please update me whether you got the needed result.
Regards Petar.
Petar,
I could remove the error by deleting other code, and my application is running without any issues now.
But when I run it , it does not show multicolum or anything in combobox dropdown, Do I have to assign datasource to see any changes?
