WPF Multi Column DropDown Control

Data binding

The Multi Column DropDown Control supports all popular data sources like SQL server, Oracle, and IEnumerable, and data providers like LINQ to SQL, ADO.NET, Entity Framework, and WCF Data Service. It allows you to design an application in the MVVM pattern, such as binding selected items.

Multiple columns

Users can define multiple columns in a dropdown. Generate columns automatically from the underlying data object properties. Or generate the required columns alone in the dropdown.

Editing

• Edit text using an intuitive text box editor.
• Provide null values in editor.
• Make the editor read-only, and therefore non-editable.

Autocomplete

• Append text to the end when users edit text in the TextBox editor.
• Auto-append text completion depending upon the underlying data objects.
• Perform autocompletion with case sensitivity.

Filtering

• Search or filter items in a dropdown as you type in the editor to find an item within large data easily.
• Filter with case-sensitivity.
• Implement custom filtering logic for business use cases.

Sorting

• Sort one or more columns easily by clicking on column headers in a dropdown.
• Implement custom logic for sorting.

Dropdown sizing

• Change the height and width of the dropdown.
• Auto-size the dropdown height and width based on grid’s height and width.
• Resize the dropdown dynamically using an intuitive resizing thumb.

Right to left (RTL)

Supports right to left (RTL) direction for users working in right-to-left languages like Hebrew, Arabic, or Persian.

UI automation

The Multi Column DropDown control is compatible with Coded UI and UFT (formerly QTP) automation tools to automate applications.
