A More Comprehensive Display Choice for Your Dropdown Data
The xamMultiColumnComboEditor is designed to give you a more comprehensive display choice for dropdown data. The Multi-Column Combo acts just like a grid; it can automatically generate columns for every property on the data object contained in the IEnumerable that is set on the control’s ItemsSource property. The control’s AutoGenerateColumns property (which defaults to true) controls this behavior.
Alternatively, the developer can manually specify which columns to display in the control by setting AutoGenerateColumns property to false, creating and adding columns directly to the control’s Columns collection.
The multi-column combo supports auto-generation (and/or manual definition) of the following column types:
- TextComboColumn
- CheckBoxComboColumn
- ImageComboColumn
- DateComboColumn
Key Features at a Glance
- Touch Support - Panning and flick scrolling
- Resizing the Dropdown – Optionally display a resize bar at the base of the dropdown that lets the end user resize the dropdown list.
- Footer in the Dropdown Area – Use the control’s Footer property to specify content that should appear in the Footer area of the dropdown.
- Filtering – Control how the dropdown list is filtered, as the user types text into the control’s text area – i.e., to filter on a single column or on all columns. As the user types into the control’s text area, the list is filtered and the control highlights the text in each cell that matches the typed text.
- Selection – Enable single or multiple selection as well as reset the currently selected items.
