Hide the Caret

[Richard]

Can I request a property in the RadComboBox that would allow me to hide the caret for IsEditable="True"? Maybe something like HideCaret="True/False"?

In Silverlight forums, I found that the technique used was to change the background color of the TextBox, because the caret is always the inversion of that color, but there was some trick to make the background color actually not change. I forget where this was, unfortunately, and I've never actually tested this method.

Thanks.

Hi Alex,

I would suggest in this case to use RadComboBox with set IsEditable=false, which is virtually the same, except the users will not be able to copy the selected text.

All the best,

I guess that will work for our scenario. Thanks for the suggestion.
