RadComboBox with Floating Label same as a RadWatermarkTextBox?

[Avrohom]

Hi,

Would it be possible to have a editable RadComboBox TextBox Part to mimic the RadWatermarkTextBox with floating Label?

Got it.

 

    public class WatermarkComboBox : RadComboBox
    {
        private RadWatermarkTextBox _waterTb;
        public override void OnApplyTemplate()
        {
            TextBox PART_EditableTextBox = Template.FindName("PART_EditableTextBox", this) as TextBox;
            Panel p = (Panel)System.Windows.Media.VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(PART_EditableTextBox);
            p.Children.Remove(PART_EditableTextBox);
            _waterTb = new RadWatermarkTextBox() { Name = "PART_EditableTextBox" };
            MethodInfo methodToReplace = typeof(RadComboBox).GetMethod("GetTemplateChild", BF.NonPublic | BF.Instance);
            MethodInfo methodToInject = this.GetType().GetMethod("GetTemplateChild1", BF.Public | BF.Instance);
            Install(methodToReplace, methodToInject);
            p.Children.Add(_waterTb);
            var binding = new Binding { Source = this, Path = new PropertyPath(LabelProperty) };
            _waterTb.SetBinding(RadWatermarkTextBox.LabelProperty, binding);
            base.OnApplyTemplate();
        }

        public DependencyObject GetTemplateChild1(string childName)
        {
            if (childName == "PART_EditableTextBox")
                return _waterTb;
            return (DependencyObject)Template.FindName(childName, this);
        }
