Creating a SfMultiColumnDropdownControl with bindings equivalent to a ComboBox

[Eric Nguyen]

Hello,

I am attempting to replace a ComboBox with a SfMultiColumnDropdownControl. This Combobox has a ItemsSource binding to a viewmodel property, with DisplayMemberPath, SelectedValuePath, and SelectedValue. Can you provide an example where you have a ComboBox with such bindings and then a SfMultiColumnDropdownControl with the same bindings?

The functional difference is that I want the SfMultiColumnDropdownControl because this control allows me to filter the display members of the items source

Hi Eric Nguyen,

We have reviewed your query. Based on your query, we have provided a SfMultiColumnDropDown sample that demonstrates the use of DisplayMember, ValueMember, and SelectedValue, which are equivalent to the properties used in a ComboBox.

For further information about filtering and data binding in SfMultiColumnDropDown, you can refer to the following user guide documentation.

Code snippet to use binding properties for SfMultiColumnDropDown:

<syncfusion:SfMultiColumnDropDownControl ItemsSource="{Binding Orders}"

                                                                                   DisplayMember="CustomerID"

                                                                                   ValueMember="Country"                                    

                                                                                   SelectedValue="{Binding SelectedItem}" >

    <syncfusion:SfMultiColumnDropDownControl.Columns>

        <syncfusion:GridTextColumn MappingName="OrderID" />

        <syncfusion:GridTextColumn MappingName="CustomerID" />

        <syncfusion:GridTextColumn MappingName="Country" />

    </syncfusion:SfMultiColumnDropDownControl.Columns>

</syncfusion:SfMultiColumnDropDownControl>
