FilterType Property (ComboBox)

Gets or sets the type of filter that will be used to filter the ItemsSource as the user types in the ComboBox.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property FilterType As StringFilterType

'Usage
 
Dim instance As ComboBox
Dim value As StringFilterType
 
instance.FilterType = value
 
value = instance.FilterType

public StringFilterType FilterType {get; set;}

Remarks

The default value is StringFilterType.StartsWith, which means that the input will be filtered based on the first letters typed in the ComboBox; thus, the ComboBox will display suggestions taken from the ItemsSource that start with the same characters as the input.

Note that if the ItemsSource represents a collection of objects, the FilterTextPath property has priority over the DisplayMemberPath property when filtering.
