Text alignment in editable ComboBox

[Roman Wack]

I have an editable combobox. I set the HorizontalContentAlignment to left.
If the ComboBoxItem is short enough to fit into the box, The Item is left aligned. But if the item text is longer than the combobox, The end of the text is shown an the beginning is cut off.
It is also possible that the last letters that fit into the combobox are replaced by ...?
So that something like this is shown: "Very long en..." instead of "Very long en" for a string like "very long entry"?

Thank you

Hi,

The scrolling occurs because RadComboBox selects the text of its inner TextBox on certain events. You could prevent this selection by setting the SelectAllTextEvent property. This should leave the item text left aligned.

Thank you.
That is solving my first problem. Do you have a solution for my second one?

Hello Roman,

Unfortunately, we don't support such a feature for RadComboBox out of the box.
In order to accomplish this, I would suggest you to set ItemTemplate for the RadComboBox control. In the DataTemplate you could place a TextBlock and set the TextTrimming="WordEllipsis" property of the TextBlock control. For example:

<telerik:RadComboBox.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <TextBlock TextTrimming="WordEllipsis" Text="{Binding}" MaxWidth="200"/>
                </DataTemplate>
            </telerik:RadComboBox.ItemTemplate>

I hope this suits your needs. 
 

All the best,
