How can I apply a ValueConverter to the selected item?

[Kristian]

Hi,

Is it possible to apply a ValueConverter to the selected item in an editable ComboBox?

I have successfully applied a ValueConverter to the items in the ComboBox itself (through creating a custom DataTemplate and assigning it to the ItemTemplate property of the ComboBox), but this ValueConverter is not applied to the currently selected item.

I have tried to open the ComboBox in Expression Blend and creating a custom ControlTemplate for it (and assigning this template to the EditableTemplate property). However I could not find a way to apply the converter to the PART_EditableTextbox in the generated template.

Thanks,
Kristian

Hello,

You can not apply a DataTemplate to the content of the selected item in editable RadComboBox. Its content is presented in a TextBox and the content is a Text. That's both how the RadComboBox and the PresentationFramework's ComboBox work.

I am sorry for the inconvenience.

All the best,
