Hello,
I have a XamComboEditor whose ItemSource is bound to a list of KeyValuePairs. The DisplayMemberPath is bound to the value property, and the ValuePath is bound to the key. To give a specific example, there are two items in the list:
key=1 value="Debit"
key=-1 value="Credit"
What I want to do is programmatically set the value of the editor to 0 (i.e. not a valid value), have it display blank, and force the user to make a choice between the two valid selections. However, when I do this, the XamComboEditor displays "0". Am I missing something? Is there a way to get it to display blank in this case and give the user his two choices of Debit and Credit?
Thanks!
Bob
Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I have been looking into it and it seems that you may use the WPF specific XamComboEditor:

instead of the XAML XamComboEditor:

In order to use the ‘EmptyText’ property, I can suggest using the XAML XamComboEditor.
I am attaching my sample application(ComboEditorKeyValuePairs_13.1.zip) with the assembly files for vol. 13.1.
Let me know, if you need any further assistance on this matter.
Sorry, I neglected to say that I'm running v13.1. The 13.1 documentation says EmptyText is supported, but in reality it is not available. Does this feature require an upgrade to 13.2? Or is there another way to do it?
I have been looking into your post and if you use XAML XamComboEditor, you could set the ‘EmptyText’ property in order to prompt the users to select an item.
I am attaching a sample application(ComboEditorKeyValuePairs.zip) that shows my suggestion.
