HintText on a non-editable ComboBox

Can I make use of HintText on a non-editable ComboBox in the same way as with editable?

I would expect non-editable ComboBox to show HintText if there is no current selection advising user to take action.

Is this possible? If so, how does one make it work? I would hate to have to reinvent the wheel with custom templates just to achieve this simple functionality.

Thanks!

Ok, we'll add hint text display for non-editable ComboBoxes for the next build.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.5) was released 1 month ago, which was before the next post in this thread.

Is this feature supported in the latest version? It is still not available in 24.1.1.

Hi David,

This sample code works to show hint text in a non-editable ComboBox:

<ComboBox shared:HintProperties.Hint="Hint text">
	<ComboBoxItem Content="ComboBox item 1" />
	<ComboBoxItem Content="ComboBox item 2" />
	<ComboBoxItem Content="ComboBox item 3" />
</ComboBox>

Why can't "ribbon:ComboBox" use shared:HintProperties.Hint?

We need to use a series of products from actipro. This is based on the consideration of code style and wpf style unification.

Hello,

These samples show hint text in both usages of ribbon:ComboBox:

<ribbon:ComboBox Hint="Non-editable combo" IsEditable="False">
</ribbon:ComboBox>

<ribbon:ComboBox Hint="Editable combo" IsEditable="True">
</ribbon:ComboBox>

My bad, I'm verifying from the minimal demo that works, but not from our project, maybe I should check if it's affecting it elsewhere.

Thank you for your patient answers.
