How do I set a style for a ReadOnly ComboBox

[Henrik Skak Pedersen]

Hi,

How do I set a style for a ReadOnly ComboBox? On a textbox you have a visual state called ReadOnly and you can set it like this:

<VisualState x:Name="ReadOnly">
.....
</VisualState>

I would like to set this both for the NonEditableComboBox and the EditableComboBox.

How can I accomplish this?

Thanks

Hello Henrik,

Setting the RadComboBox's IsReadOnly property to True will affect the RadComboBox only when it is editable and there is no visual element for it. It serves to  keep the editable look, but will prevent the user from typing. Did you mean you need to style the Disable look of RadComboBox? If it is what you want, you should modify  inside Editable and NonEditable control template of RadComboBox and particular inside VisualState x:Name="Disabled".

Let me know if it works for you.

Hello Maria,

Thank you for your reply. I know about the styling of the disabled box. But I would like to do this:
<VisualState x:Name="ReadOnly">

Just like the standard Silverlight TextBox.

Thanks

Hello Henrik,

The easiest way to create a VisualState for IsReadOnly propert is to create a custom class which inherits RadComboBox and call ChangeVisualState when IsReadOnly property is set. I've created a sample project to demonstrate the approach. You could find it attached.

Hope it helps.

All the best,
