How to filter dropdown items in WPF editable ComboBoxAdv?
This article describes how to filter dropdown items in a WPF editable ComboBoxAdv.
We can obtain the ComboBoxAdv text using the ComboBoxAdv.KeyUp event.
XAML
MainWindow.xaml
<Grid>
<syncfusion:ComboBoxAdv x:Name="comboBoxAdv" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="200" Height="25" ItemsSource="{Binding List}" DisplayMemberPath="Name" IsEditable="True">
<i:Interaction.Triggers>
<i:EventTrigger EventName="KeyUp">
<local:FilterAction/>
</i:EventTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>
</syncfusion:ComboBoxAdv>
</Grid>
In the below code, we filter the ComboBoxAdv collectionview itemsource based on the obtained ComboBoxAdv text.
C#
FilterAction.cs
public class FilterAction : TargetedTriggerAction<ComboBoxAdv>
{
protected override void Invoke(object parameter)
{
CollectionView items = (CollectionView)CollectionViewSource.GetDefaultView(Target.ItemsSource);
items.Filter = ((o) =>
{
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(Target.Text))
return true;
else
{
if ((o as Model).Name.Contains(Target.Text))
return true;
else
return false;
}
});
items.Refresh();
}
}
The output for the above code is shown below.
