Display of combobox should be empty

Display of combobox should be empty - c#

I've a simple combobox:
<StackPanel>
<ComboBox>
<ComboBoxItem>ComboBox Item #1</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>ComboBox Item #2</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>ComboBox Item #3</ComboBoxItem>
</ComboBox>
</StackPanel>
I don't know the name of the element, so I marked it with a red circle. I don't want that the selected item is displayed in this circle. It should be empty even if I select an item because I have a comboBox.Background image and that looks terrible. How can I do that?

The part you want to hide is actually called SelectionBoxItem. I've tried using Reflection to get the private static field SelectionBoxItemTemplatePropertyKey so that we can use SetValue method to change the SelectionBoxItemTemplate (which is publicly read-only). However not sure why it did not work (there's nothing changing).
Using Blend for Visual Studio, you will see that the part you need to remove here is the ContentPresenter inside the MainGrid (the root visual of the ComboBox's ControlTemplate). The default style of a ComboBox is fairly complicated. So you should copy all the template into a file (to use in your project) and delete the ContentPresenter to achieve what you want. That way all the ComboBoxes using that same template will have the effect you want.
In case you just want to empty the SelectionBoxItem of some specific comboboxes and copying the default template is something overkill, you can use the following code to remove the ContentPresenter (hence empty the SelectionBoxItem):
//be sure you run this code when the Window has already been loaded.
var grid = yourComboBox.Template.FindName("MainGrid", yourComboBox) as Grid;
grid.Children.Remove(grid.Children.OfType<ContentPresenter>().First());
Here is the whole default ComboBox's Template:

You can see that it's very long. That's why if you target just some specific ComboBoxes, using the code above might be better (although it involves some codebehind).

How to change the color of a selected item of a ComboboxItem which includes a TextBlock?

I have the following XAML of a Combobox:
<ComboBox>
<ComboBoxItem>
<TextBlock FontWeight="Bold" Background="PaleGreen">1</TextBlock>
</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>
<TextBlock FontWeight="Bold" Background="Salmon">2</TextBlock>
</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>
<TextBlock FontWeight="Bold" Background="PaleTurquoise">3</TextBlock>
</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>
<TextBlock FontWeight="Bold" Background="Gold">4</TextBlock>
</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>
<TextBlock FontWeight="Bold" Background="Black" Foreground="White">5</TextBlock>
</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>
<TextBlock FontWeight="Bold" Background="Gray">6</TextBlock>
</ComboBoxItem>
</ComboBox>
The following pictures shows my problem:
Combobox open
Combobox closed
So you can see in the picture "Combobox closed" that the number "4" has no color, but I want that the text "4" is yellow. Can you help me?

You need to edit the template of the ComboBox.
Go to [Document Outline], right-click the ComboBox, Edit Template->Edit a Copy.
Then find the "ComboBoxEditableTemplate" and edit the Border the contains the "PART_EditableTextBox". Here's the specific part of the generated code::

...
After that, you can use it like the following, without using TextBlocks:
<ComboBox IsEditable="True"
Style="{DynamicResource YourComboBoxStyleName}">
<ComboBoxItem Background="PaleGreen"
Content="1"
FontWeight="Bold" />
<ComboBoxItem Background="Salmon"
Content="2"
FontWeight="Bold" />
<ComboBoxItem Background="PaleTurquoise"
Content="3"
FontWeight="Bold" />
<ComboBoxItem Background="Gold"
Content="4"
FontWeight="Bold" />
<ComboBoxItem Background="Black"
Content="5"
FontWeight="Bold"
Foreground="White" />
<ComboBoxItem Background="Gray"
Content="6"
FontWeight="Bold" />
</ComboBox>

<!-- Design des contextmenu-->
And in my code :
MenuItem mySubItem = new MenuItem() { Header = "SubItem" };
mySubItem .Style = (Style)this.FindResource("MenuItemStyle");
mySubItem.Click += mySubItem _Click;
MenuItem m2 = new MenuItem();
m2.Header = LibLOCA.Localisation.GetStringFromResources("OPTION_MENU");
m2.Style = (Style)this.FindResource("MenuItemStyle");
m2.Click += m2_Click;
m2.Items.Add(mySubItem );
contextMenu.Items.Add(m2);
The ContextMenu looks OK, and I can click on both menuItems, but if I click on the subItem :
The application will call "mySubItem_click" and then it will also call "m2_click".
Why is "m2_click" called even though I didn't click on the menu Item associated with it ?
Is there a problem with my template or with my code ?
Thank you :)

You have to handle the subitem so that it doesn't bubble up the event to the Parent menu item.
On the click event handler
The RoutedEventArgs has a property called Handled set it to true

Styling Multiple Menus in WPF

I'm new to WPF and am trying to figure out how to customize menus for a Windows 7 touch screen application. I'm using the xaml below that was taken from another question on StackOverflow to style one of the menus. I now want to style another menu that will be used in a different way. How would I style another menu of the same type?
If the answer should be simple / something I should be able to figure out, please post a link to where I can read on how to do this type of thing. I've been reviewing MSDN for a while now and while I'm reading all sorts of stuff I already know, I'm not seeing anything helpful for me here. (Sorry, just discouraged by the constant battle to find basic information I need to complete a simple task.)

Give your styles different keys:
<Style TargetType="ContextMenu" x:Key="MyStyle1">
</Style>
<Style TargetType="ContextMenu" x:Key="MyStyle2">
</Style>
You then need to specify which style you want your ContextMenu to use
<ContextMenu Style="{StaticResource MyStyle1}"></ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu Style="{StaticResource MyStyle2}"></ContextMenu>
If you had any shared style for these ContextMenus, you could do this:
<Style TargetType="ContextMenu" x:Key="BaseStyle"></Style
<Style TargetType="ContextMenu" x:Key="MyStyle1" BasedOn="{StaticResource BaseStyle}">
</Style>
<Style TargetType="ContextMenu" x:Key="MyStyle2" BasedOn="{StaticResource BaseStyle}">
</Style>
MyStyle1 and MyStyle2 would then inherit any styles from BaseStyle
All the information I provided could be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms745683(v=vs.110).aspx

I ended up defining the styles for the child objects in the styles style.resources.

Check out this link:

This is a blog with example code on how to make a custom Combobox. The custom combobox he is making looks very much like the one you need. So I think this will be very useful to you.

Here is a complete style for WPF ComboBox. It is also easy to customize.
http://www.wpfhelper.com/index.php/styles-in-wpf/combobox/15-combobox-style-in-wpf
The codes are quite long so I will not post them all here. However, here is the base ComboBox style:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Gray" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Gray" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true"/>

How to change WPF ComboBox SelectedText BackGround Color?

I have a Combobox in WPF-MVVM and i have styled the combobox with changes in the popdown box and textbox of combobox.
When i scroll the combobox listitem thier background is pink is what i have chnaged. But after selecting a item from the combobox list, the selected value in combobox item has blue background. which is the default for a combobbox in both Windows Form and WPF.
See the image for more details.
How can i change that selectedtext background color in the combobox textbox control
The combobox has
IsEditable=True property set

You can do this:
<ComboBox.Resources>
<!--Selected color when the ComboBox is focused-->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" Color="Yellow" />
<!--Selected color when the ComboBox is not focused-->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.ControlBrushKey}" Color="Yellow" />
<!--selected text-->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightTextBrushKey}" Color="Yellow" />
</ComboBox.Resources>
(tested on ListBox but should work)
Another way is setting the ItemContainerStyle property of the ComboBox, and have a trigger depended on the current ComboBoxItem selection state:
<ComboBox>
<ComboBox.Resources>
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsSelected, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ComboBoxItem}}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ComboBox.Resources>
<ComboBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ComboBoxItem" x:Key="ContainerStyle">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ComboBox.ItemContainerStyle>
</ComboBox>

In your PART_EditableTextBox the SelectionBrush property controls this background for the selected item. In the code below I set it to be transparent so it will not highlight.
<TextBox x:Name="PART_EditableTextBox"
Margin="3,3,18,3"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Background="Transparent"
Focusable="True"
SelectionBrush="Transparent"
Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}"
IsReadOnly="{TemplateBinding IsReadOnly}"
Style="{x:Null}"
Template="{StaticResource ComboBoxTextBox}"
Visibility="Visible" />
