IsReadOnly does seem to work

[Jon]

Hi..
I set

IsReadOnly

= true  , in code

But I can still change the values and select other items.
How do I lock the combo box ?  Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
thanks

Hi Jon,

Just like the standard WPF ComboBox, IsReadOnly has effect only when IsEditable = true, but does not prevent the user from selecting values - it just makes the editable text box read-only. To completely prevent the control from selection you should use IsEnabled = false.

Hi..
When I change the IsEditable = false - the controls are barely visible.
How can I 'keep' the same style - but just 'lock them down'?

thanks again

Hi Jon,

We are sorry for the delay in our reply.

As far as I understand, you need your combo box to be displayed normally, but behave as it is not enabled (i.e. as if IsEnabled="False"). If so, you can use set the IsHitTestVisible property to False. Thus it will not respond to user input.

Let me know if this workaround works for you. 

Kind regards,

Yes.. that will work.. thanks...

What is the purpose of IsHitTestVisible ?

[Teodor]

Hello Jon,

In two words, when you set IsHitTestVisible to false, the mouse related events are not received by the control. For example, the control does not receive notification that the mouse is moved or clicked. Find more information on this matter here.

Hope this helps. Get in touch with us should you need more support.

Hi. You say that with IsHitTestVisible set to false, the control will not respond to mouse events. But can the user still select a value with the keyboard (pressing tab until focusing in the ComboBox) and then pressing the Down key?

Thanks.

[Hugo Aristizabal]

Well, I actually tried it, and the user could still select a valur with the keyboard. What I did was set the IsTabStop property to false as well, and it worked.

Hi Hari,

You can use the TextSearch.TextPath property of the RadComboBox which will display the chosen property of the SelectedItem in the text box. That said, you should change the SelectedItem when the IsSelected property changes and add this in the RadComboBox:

TextSearch.TextPath="CheckProcessNames"

Hope this helps.

you can inherits the combo to CombEx

override OnPreviewKeyDown  - if (IsReadOnly &&  e.Key!=Key.Tab ) e.Handled=True and then  Return

and Override  

OnIsDropDownOpenChanged(Bool oldValue,Bool newValue)
if(IsReadOnly==True) NewValue=False;
    Return
