When I use the XamComboEditor and the page first loads the comboeditor looks like a text box and not a drop down. Is there a way of forcing the combo box to always render the drop down and not just when someone hits on it?
Hello,
I have been looking into your post and I have tested this behavior using WPF XamComboEditor and Shared XAML XamComboEditor and both of them have drop-down arrow when the application starts. I am sending you my sample application(XamComboEditorFirstLook.zip). Please modified it or give me some additional information, if I have misunderstood you in any way.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
thanks for your reply....
This does not work for me.

Where I have a combobox and i'm using a template item. In the attached dummygrid project from one of the last posts you will see what i'm talking about.
I have been looking into the provided forum thread where you are discussing this with Stefan and I have downloaded the sample with which he has provided you. When I run it, the drop down arrow of the XamComboEditor appears.
If you would like the dropdown menu of the XamComboeditor to be opened when you run the application I can suggest you set the ‘IsDropDownOpen’ property of the editor to ‘true’ :
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
xamComboEditor1.DataContext = PlayerCollection.plist;
xamComboEditor1.IsDropDownOpen = true;
}
If you have any other questions on this matter, feel free to ask.
Mine doesn't look like that at all...It just looks like a text box but once i click on it an the arrow appears and if i hit on the arrow to open the drop down the drop down then always shows.
I am using a different version of infragistics. My version is 2011.1 would that have something to do with it? His example behaves the same way. There is also a dll i had to get rid of because it is not provided in my version which was the comboeditor
I am just checking if my last reply was helpful for you.
If you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to ask.
I can suggest you use the 'AllowFiltering' property of the XamComboEditor :

If you need any further assistance, feel free to ask.
Yes I need further assistance.
Is there a way to make that combobox filter the items on the list if the user types? Please see previous post
Glad to hear, this worked for you. Please let us know if you need any further assistance on the matter.
Thank you!!! this did the trick I saw that the code was different from the preview example where here the "itemtemplete" and the datatemplate of the comboBox was used as opposed to the controltemplate.
I did noticed that when i type on the combobox to select an item nothing happens, it does not take me to a value on the drop down with the given string. Is there a way to force this?
