Nov Combobox

The WPF ComboBox control is used to display data in a drop-down combo box. It is a drop down edit, which displays a drop down list of items to choose from.

The ComboBox item’s content can be any widget, so it’s easy to create whatever combo box item you wish. For example, to create a combo box item that has image and text just put the image and the text in a pair box and assign it as content of the combo box item.

WPF ComboBox Control Properties and Events

Nov Combo Box Properties

The ComboBox provides the following properties:
  • Drop Down Style - determines the drop down style of the combo box. Can be one of the following:
    • Drop Down - the list of items is displayed by clicking the down arrow and the text portion is editable. This means that the user can enter a new value and is not limited to selecting an existing value from the list.
    • Drop Down List - the list is displayed by clicking the down arrow and the text portion is not editable. This means that the user cannot enter a new value. Only values already in the list can be selected. This is the default combo box style.
  • Max Drop Down Height - determines the height of the combo box’s popup window.
  • Items - the items collection of the combo box.
  • Selected Index - the index of the currently selected combo box item.

Customer Quotes:

QUOTE I really like the fact that standard windows icons are provided with the NOV Ribbon example, avoiding the need to recreate the wheel and giving a more professional appearance. Using the provided Visual Studio NOV solution, it is fairly straightforward to add custom icons with a few extra simple steps. The gallery of C# examples for all controls makes it easy to create custom layouts. For the handful of customizations I could not find in the examples or user forums, the tech support responses got me going within a day. UNQUOTE
