ComboBoxAdv in a SfTextInputLayout not displaying correctly unless it has focus

I’m seeing some odd behavior when a bound ComboBoxAdv loads in a SfTextInputLayout.  The ComboBoxAdv binding works fine, but when the UserControl first loads, the ComboBoxAdv inside the SfTextInputLayout does not render the current value.  If you tab into the SfTextInputLayout or drop down the combo, it works as I would expect.  When the SfTextInputLayout loses focus I see the correct selected display value, and the Hint text on top of each other.

This is the XAML for the ComboBoxAdv in a SfTextInputLayout.  The ComboBoxAdv on the left is the same without the SfTextInputLayout.


<inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout

           Hint="Min Office Version"

           Width="150">

    <syncfusion:ComboBoxAdv x:Name="cboMinVersion"

                           SelectedValuePath="Tag"

                           SelectedValue="{Binding AccessMinimumVersion}"                          

                           Foreground="{StaticResource Supplied}">

        <syncfusion:ComboBoxItemAdv Tag="" Content="Any" />

        <syncfusion:ComboBoxItemAdv Tag="16" Content="Office O365" />

        <syncfusion:ComboBoxItemAdv Tag="15" Content="Office 2013" />

        <syncfusion:ComboBoxItemAdv Tag="14" Content="Office 2010" />

        <syncfusion:ComboBoxItemAdv Tag="12" Content="Office 2007" />

    </syncfusion:ComboBoxAdv>

</inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout>

I’m a newbie to Syncfusion so I’m not sure if this is a bug or something obvious that I’m missing?

Thanks!

Hi Bartosz, 
 
We have prepared a sample as in the provided screenshot and tested it by focusing on the SfTtextInputControl. But we didn’t find any issue when focusing. So please check the tested sample from the below link. 
 
 
If you still face any problem, can you revert by modifying the sample based on your scenario and provide us more information about the issue, this will help us to provide you with a better solution at the earliest.

Eswaran.

Hi Eswaran,

I notice that when IsEditable is true, than text input is not focus

<syncfusion:ComboBoxAdv

                        x:Name="TestCmb"

                        IsEditable="True"

                        DisplayMemberPath="Name" />

Hi Bartosz,  

We have prepared a sample based on the provided snippet and checked the reported problem by switching the focus using Tab Keys also click the SfTextInputLayout. But we are unable to reproduce any focus related problem. Please check the tested sample and video from the below link. 


If you still face any problem, can you revert by modifying the sample based on your scenario along with the replication steps, this will help us to provide you with a better solution at the earliest. 

Regards, 
Vignesh Ramesh.
