I was following a similar workaround to address this case insensitive filtering in xamMultiColumnCombo control. Just came to know yesterday that there is new Service Release on June 26, 2013 which addresses this problem and no need for custom coding required.

The Service pack of 2012.2 has been tested. But looks like a similar service is available for 2013 as well.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Parvez.

Thank you for the understanding.

Hi Yanko,

thanks for the sample. Filtering is now no problem.

Much more serious is the following issue: if the XamMultiColumnCombo have keyboard focus and the user types in nothing or not select anything and goes to another editable control (lost focus), first or second time the control select automatically the first row in the combo.
If you expand your sample to two textboxes, one before and one after the combo, and go with the tab key through the controls then you see it (first or second time) also if you open the combo with mouse and closed it. For a correction I would by very grateful.
Also the column width, the user can not change.

Best rigards

Hello Hawellek,

I've attached a sample application(xamMultiColumnCombo-CustomFiltering.zip) that demonstrates how to create a custom ItemsFilter that you can use to filter across multiple fields when you have DisplayMemberPath set.  It allows you to specify which fields you want to filter by and how you want to filter them; either with Contains or StartsWith.

Hi Yanko,

shame, the kompetition has a property for case-sensitive.

Is there no other way, instead of programming everything myself? Not to do that, we have acquired the tools.
