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. |

I discovered after I posted this that if you save that test app and exit and then reload it, then it seems to work normally. I tried this twice with different test apps and they both had that redraw problem until I saved and reloaded the project. Odd.. |

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. |
