ComboBox for WPF and Silverlight allows you to create customized, rich applications. Make the most of ComboBox by taking advantage of the following key features:
- Auto-searchable Drop-down List
Locate items quickly by typing the first few characters. ComboBox will automatically search the list and select the items for you as you type.
- Populate the Drop-down List with Data Templates
ComboBox fully supports data templates, making it easy to add any visual elements to the list items. This includes text, images, and any other controls. The control uses element virtualization, so it always loads quickly, even when populated with hundreds of items.
- Time-tested, Familiar Object Model
ComboBox has a rich object model. You can easily specify whether the end user is able to enter items that are not on the drop-down list, get or set the index of the selected item, the height of the drop-down list, and more.
