2 xamComboEditors missing common properties?
posted

I realize there are two separate XamComboEditor controls at our disposal (we're running 13.1 version of the controls here) - cross platform version and WPF version. I am using both on the same screen and see that whilst cross-platform version allows setting EmptyText property, the WPF version mysteriously missing this ability.

Question1: Is there a way to set EmptyText on WPF XamComboEditor?

On the other hand, while WPF version of XamComboEditor supports a way to set  DropDownButtonDisplayMode while I see no such property on the cross-platform XamComboEditor. Hence

Question2: how do you set x-platform DropDownButtonDisplayMode to 'MouseOver' (so that drop down arrow shown only on Mouse hover event) or it needs to be retemplated I would appreciate a demo.

Thanks.

    Hello,

     

    Thank you for your post. I have been looking into it and

     

    Question1: I can suggest you see this forum thread from stackoverflow:

     

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1426050/how-to-display-default-text-select-team-in-combo-box-on-pageload-in-wpf

     

    where it is discussed how to set an EmptyText on MS ComboBox. Same approaches can be used with WPF XamComboEditor.

     

    Question2: Since version 14.1 DropDownButtonDisplayMode Property is added in the cross-platform XamComboEditor, so I can suggest you update your version. Please let me know if this helps you or you have further questions on this matter.

     

    Looking forward for your reply.
