ComboBox Problem

Now that I have everything looking exactly as I'd like with colors and images, I realized that this has created a new problem. It seems to make the AutoComplete property completely non-functional. Is there some way to use markup and still specify the text for autocomplete to use? I love the ability to use colors and images in the list items with markup, but a dropdown list combo with no autocomplete is something I'm pretty sure many of my users will not like.

When using Markup with the ComboBox control, the XAML output in the dropdown list vanishes as the cursor passes over the items. Oddly, I don't see this happening in the SuiteControls demo app in the combo box with the language names and flags, but I don't see why I am getting different results.

To duplicate this, I created a VB6 app and put a Suite Controls ComboxBox on the form and set EnableMarkup to True and Style to DropDownList. Then I added this code:

Private Sub Form_Load()

With ComboBox1
    .AddItem "Text A"
    .AddItem "Text B"
    .AddItem "Text C"

    .AddItem "<StackPanel Orientation='Horizontal'><TextBlock Padding = '0' VerticalAlignment='Center'>" & "XAML A" & "</TextBlock></StackPanel>"
    .AddItem "<StackPanel Orientation='Horizontal'><TextBlock Padding = '0' VerticalAlignment='Center'>" & "XAML B" & "</TextBlock></StackPanel>"
    .AddItem "<StackPanel Orientation='Horizontal'><TextBlock Padding = '0' VerticalAlignment='Center'>" & "XAML C" & "</TextBlock></StackPanel>"
End With

End Sub

When I drop the list down, I see all six items and moving the cursor over the first three non-xaml entries works fine. When the cursor moves over the last three, they blank out.



Is there a way to make this work? I am using version 17.2.
