Override Selection Change

[Manishkumar]

I have developed a custom control for multiple selection in Rad Combobox. Now i want to show the selected items as comma separated string. Can i manipulate the display member of rad combo box at runtime?

<Window.Resources>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="ItemContDataTemplateKey">
            <Grid x:Name="radCmb" Width="210" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
                <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <ColumnDefinition  Width="20"></ColumnDefinition>
                    <ColumnDefinition  Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>
                </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <CheckBox x:Name="chkSelct" HorizontalAlignment="Left" DataContext="{Binding}" Grid.Column="0" Unchecked="chkSelct_Unchecked" Checked="chkSelct_Checked"></CheckBox>
                <TextBlock x:Name="txtDropDown" Text="{Binding FullName}" Grid.Column="1"></TextBlock>
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>

<Telerik:RadComboBox Name="radCmbCompany" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Height="25" Width="250"
                             SelectedValuePath="Id"
                             IsEditable="True"
                             IsReadOnly="True"
                             ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ItemContDataTemplateKey}"
                             >

        </Telerik:RadComboBox>

Hello Manishkumar,

We have an example that demonstrates how to create multiselection combobox, I hope it will be of help, so please find it attached.

Valeri,

Do you have a working sample of this in WPF? Never Mind. Got it working.
