ComboBox: Add an Event for the Clear button

We would like to be able to override the behavior of the Clear button in the editable combo box.

When the user has started typing into an editable combo box, and they click the Clear button before they've selected another item, we want to revert their text to what was in there before they started typing and keep the previously selected item selected, rather than clearing the text and selected item.

If you can add that functionality, even better, but it should be enough to just expose the Clear button's Click event (with a Cancel param or another way to ensure the text isn't cleared), so we can override the current functionality.

Perfect. I'll take a look. Thanks Didi!

Hello Teddy,

With Telerik .NET MAUI 6.1.0, the ClearButton command is bindable. So you can override the default command execution and implement a custom logic.

We have created a how-to article that described how to revert the ComboBox text to match the SelectedItem when X button is pressed and the selection is not lost: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/maui/knowledge-base/combobox-clear-selection-command

A brand new .NET MAUI course was just added to the Virtual Classroom. The training course is developed to help you get started with the Telerik UI for .NET MAUI components and features. It aims to put you in the shoes of an engineer who adds new features to an existing application. You can check it out at https://learn.telerik.com

Hello Teddy,

Thank you for the suggestion, I have successfully added this to the backlog. Please note that even though I have set the status to Unplanned, that's only because it's not an explicitly listed item on the product roadmap (which doesn't prevent us from getting it into an upcoming release).
