ComboBox: Add the option to include additional content in the drop down area

Currently, the drop down of RadComboBox contains only the RadComboBoxItems and the Clear Selection button. Add new content presenter that allows you to include extra visuals, like buttons or text.

The feature is similar to the AdditionalContent of RadTabControl.

ComboBox: ArgumentOutOfRangeException on ItemsSource reset when AllowMultipleSelection is True

Type: Bug Report

ComboBox: ArgumentOutOfRangeException on ItemsSource reset when AllowMultipleSelection is True

ArgumentOutOfRangeException occurs when the ItemsSource of RadComboBox gets reset. To recreate this the IsSelected property of RadComboBoxItem should be bound too and multiple selection should be allowed.

To work this around, you can disable the autiomation peers globally:

AutomationManager.AutomationMode = AutomationMode.Disabled;

Or you disable them only for the RadComboBox:

public class CustomComboBox : RadComboBox
{
    protected override AutomationPeer OnCreateAutomationPeer()
    {
        return null;
    }
}

The stacktrace:

ComboBox: Initial selection doesn't work when SelectedValuePath is set with a Style DataTrigger which uses converter in its Binding and RadComboBox is placed in a DataTemplate

The initial selection doesn't work when RadComboBox is placed in a DataTemplate (examples: ContentControl.ContentTemplate, GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate) and the SelectedValuePath property of the control is set in a Style DataTrigger. To reproduce this the Binding of the DataTrigger should use a converter.

To work this around avoid using a binding in a DataTrigger to set the SelectedValuePath. Set the property directly on the RadComboBox instance, or use another technique based on your requirements.

ComboBox: Selecting an item from a RadComboBox in a touch scenario causes RadComboBox below the item to open

In a touch scenario, when there are RadComboBox instances one below the other, selecting an item from a RadComboBox opens the RadComboBox instance, which is below the selected item.

This is present when there is a global Style that targets the native WPF ScrollViewer element, which sets its PanningMode property to Both.

To work this around, set the TouchManager.TouchMode to HitTestHidden, in order to exclude the RadComboBox from the TouchManager's events propagation.

ComboBox: ArgumentException is thrown when mixed typed values are presented in the ItemsSource

ArgumentException is thrown when mixed typed values are presented in the ItemsSource. For example, if you use an enum type and present an additional numeric value that is not presented in the corresponding enum definition.

The exception message is the following: System.ArgumentException: 'The value '102' is not a valid value for the enum 'FilterOperator'.'

To work this around, avoid using mixed typed values in the ItemsSource.

ComboBox: In a multiple selection scenario, having a type converter does not correctly visualize the selected items

The selected items of the RadComboBox will not be displayed correctly if the ItemsSource is bound to a collection of enums that are converted via a custom EnumConverter.

Currently, you could work around this behavior by implementing a custom DataTemplate for the MultipleSelectionBoxTemplate property of RadComboBox:

<telerik:RadComboBox x:Name="comboBox"
                     AllowMultipleSelection="True">
    <telerik:RadComboBox.MultipleSelectionBoxTemplate>

                            <TextBlock x:Name="commaTextBlock" Text=", "/>
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding}" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>

While editing the XAML document, I'm experiencing weird behavior in VS2019.

Example 1:

Selecting XAML with mouse stops when I start selecting the telerik:RadComboBox.

Example 2:

Copy Pasting bugs out, either the selection is empty or incorrect.

Example 3:

Combobox erases entered text if searching for string with spaces when user types space

Steps to Create Problem using EditableTextBoxTemplate_WPF sample project provided by Telerik:(modified project is zipped and attached just in case)

- Edit Example.xaml to add "AllowMultipleSelection="True":

<telerik:RadComboBox IsEditable="True" ItemsSource="{Binding Companies}" SelectAllTextEvent="None" FontFamily="Calibri" FontSize="14"
DisplayMemberPath="Name" EditableTemplate="{StaticResource EditableComboBox}"
Width="220" Height="50" DropDownWidth="*" x:Name="comboBox" Margin="5 10" AllowMultipleSelection="True"/>
</StackPanel>

1) Run project

2) Click drop down button to see list in the drop down

3) Type "Global" (at this point it should autocomplete "Global Corporation")

4) Without clicking on anything or Press space bar to continue typing (type space character)

5) Typed text will disappear leaving only space character behind - At this point, nothing is selected.

This does NOT happen if typed text before space does NOT match with any item from the list.

This does NOT happen if AllowMultipleSelection set to false.

This does NOT happen if dropdown is NOT open while typing.

ComboBox: NullReferenceException when the Text becomes null in multi-selection scenario

NullReferenceException appears when the multiple selection is enabled, items are selected and the Text property of the RadComboBox control becomes null.

To resolve this, you can override the OnTextChanged method of RadComboBox and replace the null value with an empty string.

public class CustomRadComboBox : RadComboBox
{
	protected override void OnTextChanged(string oldValue, string newValue)
	{
		if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(newValue))
		{
			newValue = string.Empty;
			Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>
			{
					SelectedItems.Clear();
			}));
		}
		base.OnTextChanged(oldValue, newValue);
	}
}
