Hi All,
My Requirement is - I need to create Multi select combo box. Each value of combo box should have a check box. And, the options for which check boxes are checked should be stored as comma separated string.
What I have created -
<igEditors:XamComboEditor IsEditable="False" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="4"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=OrganizationList}"> <igEditors:XamComboEditor.ComboBoxStyle> <Style TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}"> <Setter Property="ItemTemplate"> <Setter.Value> <DataTemplate> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"> <CheckBox Name="chbx"
IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsChecked}" Content="{Binding Path=Name}"
VerticalAlignment="Center" /> </StackPanel> </DataTemplate> </Setter.Value> </Setter> </Style> </igEditors:XamComboEditor.ComboBoxStyle> </igEditors:XamComboEditor>
The OrganizationList is of type IList<IMultiSelectComboViewModel> and
IMultiSelectComboViewModel contains 3 properties Id, Name, IsChecked.
This is working fine when I select checkbox in drop down. However, When I click
on a TEXT in drop down instead of checkbox following issue occurs-
Please help.

Nirmit Garg
Hello Nirmit,
Thank you for your post. I have been looking into it and I can suggest you use the XamComboEditor ported from Silverlight, which has built-in functionality for Multiple selection using checkboxes. You can see how to use it in the Feature Browser under XamComboEditor / Editing and Selection / Selectable xamComboEditor section. Please let me know if this helps you or you need further assistance on this matter.
Looking forward for your reply.
Hi Steve,
I was aware that multi select option is available in Silverlight XamComboEditor. But we are not using only WPF control in our application. So, I need to implement this functionality using WPF control only.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Thanks for your help!
Thanks for your reply. Could you please share the URL with me as I am not able to find it.
I have created a sample project for you, which shows the built-in functionality of the XamComboEditor for multiple selection. Please let me know if this helps you or you need further assistance on this matter.
Thanks for your reply!
I have few questions in this control-
Can I get SelectedItems of the combo box in some ViewModel property?
Can I check the checkboxes automatically on the basis of some property?
Regards.
The XamComboEditor has a SelectedItems Property which is collection with the SelectedItems. Also you can use the following code to select an item:
xamComboEditor1.Items[0].IsSelected = true;
Hope this helps you.
The selecteditems property is not a dependencyproperty so you can't data bind to it.
This is SO limiting!!!
