DataGrid in ComboBox
We all know how to use the ComboBox, bind it to a collection and set DisplayMemberPath and we are done
we get a nice looking ComboBox
we can make it look like this with few tweaks (yes, DataGrid with all the functionality in the popup)

Hey Lee,
Got any clues for creating a true ComboBox in which the items can be editabled? Maybe a ComboBox that can host a TextBox AND a DropDownList so that you could enter a name (ad hoc) into the combobox or select from the lists in the ItemSource.
I’m working on this now. Thought I might ping you to see if you got any ideas.
Great site, man.
Thanks,
Bruce
I am waiting for the release version. if the feature is not there in the release version. then I might take a shot at it. I would say we have to inherit from the ComboBox and change the template.
Yeah, that sounds good. Thanks.
Can you help me how to make the combobox editable when combobox has DataGrid.I want to Edit the
Combobox so that i can
add new item by editing in the combobox instead of
going to the last row in the DataGrid if my DataGrid Contains so many items.
Did you try this http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2008/11/05/silverlight-editable-combobox-using-styles.aspx
