Can't set initial value in RadComboBox

[Charles Bates]

Hello,
I have a RadComboBox declared in xaml:

<input:RadComboBox x:Name="FontFamilyCombo" Width="128" Margin="2,2,1,3"     MouseLeftButtonDown="FontFamilyCombo_MouseLeftButtonDown" SelectionChanged="FontFamilyCombo_SelectionChanged" MouseEnter="FontFamilyCombo_MouseEnter" MouseLeave="FontFamilyCombo_MouseLeave" />

It is initialized in C#:

TextBlock[] family = new TextBlock[4];
family[0] = new TextBlock { FontFamily = new FontFamily(TextAttributes.arrFontNames[0]), Text = TextAttributes.arrFontNames[0] };
family[1] = new TextBlock { FontFamily = new FontFamily(TextAttributes.arrFontNames[1]), Text = TextAttributes.arrFontNames[1] };
family[2] = new TextBlock { FontFamily = new FontFamily(TextAttributes.arrFontNames[2]), Text = TextAttributes.arrFontNames[2] };
family[3] = new TextBlock { FontFamily = new FontFamily(TextAttributes.arrFontNames[3]), Text = "Default" };

foreach (TextBlock s in family)
{
    FontFamilyCombo.Items.Add(s);
}
FontFamilyCombo.SelectedIndex = 1;
FontFamilyCombo.SelectedItem = family[1];

At runtime, no item is selected in the combo box.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Hi Charles,

Thank you for contacting us.

It seems that there is a problem selecting an item defined like TextBlock from the ComboBox like you described. We will continue to investigate the issue. Meanwhile, I can suggest using the TextBlock as a ItemTemplate of the ComboBox.
Please find the attached project for reference.

If you have further questions please feel free to contact us again.

Best wishes,
