How to enable multiple selection mode in WinUI ComboBox?

This article explains how to enable multiple selection mode in WinUI ComboBox.

The ComboBox allows the user to select multiple values from the drop-down list. The multi-select ComboBox mode can be enabled by setting the SelectionMode property as Multiple.

There are two different display modes to perform multiple selections in ComboBox

• Delimiter
• Token

Display multiple selected items with token representation or simply divide them with a delimiter text. The multiple selection display mode can be set by using the MultiSelectionDisplayMode property. The default value of the MultiSelectionDisplayMode property is Delimiter.

Delimiter

When selecting the multiple items, the selected items can be separated from each other with a desired character given for a delimiter. The ComboBox supports various delimiter characters to separate the selected items. The delimiter character can be set by using the DelimiterText property. The default delimiter character is ,.

XAML

<editors:SfComboBox x:Name="comboBox"
                   ItemsSource="{Binding SocialMedias}"
                   SelectionMode="Multiple"
                   DisplayMemberPath="Name"
                   TextMemberPath="Name" />

Token

Selected items will be displayed with a customizable token representation and the users can remove each tokenized item by clicking the close button. Token mode supports both editable and non-editable text boxes for selecting items from a data source.

XAML

   <editors:SfComboBox x:Name="comboBox"
                       ItemsSource="{Binding SocialMedias}"
