SelectionChanged not fired on clear

[Dan Dumitrascu]

If the control has SelectedItem property bound to an object, tapping clear button doesn't fire SelectionChanged event and SelectedItem is not set to null.

Hi Dan Dumitrascu, 

 

Greetings from Syncfusion. 

 

We have validated this and we have already fixed this issue “tapping clear button doesn't fire SelectionChanged event” and included this in Version 16.4.0.48. Can you please upgrade NuGet to latest version (16.4.0.48)?

Hi,

I upgraded to version 16.4.0.48

1. SelectionChanged is fired
2. But SelectedItem is set to empty string. So if I have SelectedItem={Binding SomeObject}, the app fails to set "SomeObject" since it's not a string. The expected value of SelectedItem is null.

Hi Dan Dumitrascu,  

 

Sorry for the inconvenience. 

 

In our current implementation of SfComboBox on Xamarin.Forms Android platform, we have used empty string for the SelectedItem when pressing x-button. Due to code complexities and breaking changes on our control [in Android platform] we could not able to change this implementation for now. So we will consider this and it will be included in any of our upcoming release. 

 

If you are using MVVM structure, you can use the below workaround to achieve your requirement. 

 

Please use the below converter to get the EmptyStringToNullConverter. 

 public class EmptyStringToNullConverter : IValueConverter
    {

        public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            return value;
        }

        public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            if (value != null &&
                    (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value.ToString())
                    || value.ToString().Equals("0.0")))
            {
                return null;
            }
            else
            {
                return value;
            }
        }
    } 

 

Also we have prepared a sample for the same, please download it from the link given below.

Hi,

I am having the same trouble with the SfComboBox. 

In the iOS app, the problem is that the clear button is not triggering the SelectionChanged event.

Situation: if I get a value on SelectedItem from the view model (and not from the drop down list, for example on an edit view with forms already with values), when I tap the clear button the event is not triggered.

Also in an edit view, where the forms is already filled, the SelectionChanged should be triggered when the view gets SelectedItem property from the view model. This only happens on Android.

In the Android app, the SelectionChanged event works perfectly, but when I change the value of any other SfComboBox IsEnabled to false, and then I call again the SelectionChanged and set this IsEnabled to true, on Android the SfComboBox never becomes enabled again, on iOS it does.

Is it there any solution please? I just updated the latest version of Syncfusion 18.1.0.43.

Thanks for your attention!

Best regards,

Alexandre Vaz.
