DataTemplate and No Selection

[Philip Ashworth]

Hi,

I have a combobox that uses a DataTemplate like so

  <DataTemplate  x:Key="ComboBoxTemplate">

            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">

                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=ClientId}" ></TextBlock>

                <TextBlock Text=" - "></TextBlock>

                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=ClientName}"></TextBlock>

            </StackPanel>

     </DataTemplate>

But when my form loads there is no ClientId or ClientName selected and correctly shows nothing....but it does show the dash. i.e. " - ".

I want it to just show nothing so that the user has't to select from the combobox. I could insert "please select - " but I'd rather have a clean empty selection to start with.

This worked ok when I used a standard combobox.

Thanks Phil.

Code for the combobox creation:

 <Controls:RadComboBox Name="cb"  

telerik:TextSearch.TextPath="ClientName"

ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ComboBoxTemplate}"/>

Hi Phil,

We will update our control to work the same way as the standard ComboBox with the upcoming official release Q1 2010, that is scheduled for the next week. This week's internal build will also contain the fix.

Kind regards,
