Combo Box

The combo box presents a selected item and a drop-down button that displays a list of options. The length and height of the combo box are determined by the selected item, unless otherwise defined.

The items in the list can be composed, bound and templated.

Useful Properties

You will probably use these properties most often:

PropertyDescription
ItemsThe list items collection.
SelectedIndexThe index (zero-based) of the selected item.
SelectedItemThe selected item itself.
SelectedItemsA collection of selected items that has more than one item when selection mode is set to multiple.
AutoScrollToSelectedItemIndicates whether to automatically scroll to newly selected items.
IsDropDownOpenIndicates whether the dropdown is currently open.
MaxDropDownHeightThe maximum height for the dropdown list. This is the actual height of the list part, not the number of items that show.

Examples

This is basic example with text items has a limit set on the drop-down list height.

<StackPanel Margin="20">
<ComboBox SelectedIndex="0" MaxDropDownHeight="100">
<ComboBoxItem>Text Item 1</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>Text Item 2</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>Text Item 3</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>Text Item 4</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>Text Item 5</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>Text Item 6</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>Text Item 7</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>Text Item 8</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>Text Item 9</ComboBoxItem>
</ComboBox>
</StackPanel>

This example uses a composed view for each item:

<StackPanel Margin="20">
<ComboBox SelectedIndex="0">
<ComboBoxItem>
<Panel>
<Ellipse Width="50" Height="50" Fill="Red"/>
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Center">Red</TextBlock>
</Panel>
</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>
<Panel>
<Ellipse Width="50" Height="50" Fill="Orange"/>
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Center">Amber</TextBlock>
</Panel>
</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>
<Panel>
<Ellipse Width="50" Height="50" Fill="Green"/>
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Center">Green</TextBlock>
</Panel>
</ComboBoxItem>
</ComboBox>
</StackPanel>

This example binds the items in a combo box using a data template. The C# code-behind loads the installed font family names and binds them to the items property.

<StackPanel Margin="20">
<ComboBox x:Name="fontComboBox" SelectedIndex="0"
Width="200" MaxDropDownHeight="300">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" FontFamily="{Binding}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>
</StackPanel>
C#
using Avalonia.Controls;
using Avalonia.Media;
using System.Linq;

namespace AvaloniaControls.Views
{
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
fontComboBox.Items = FontManager.Current
.GetInstalledFontFamilyNames()
.Select(x => new FontFamily(x))
.OrderBy(x=>x.Name);
fontComboBox.SelectedIndex = 0;
}
}
}
