How to Customize the .NET MAUI ComboBox

[@ymtan]

Hi, kindly please explain what is the difference between DisplayMemberPath and TextMemberPath properties of the ComboBox control since in this example both properties are set to Name ???

Hi,
The DisplayMemberPath and TextMemberPath properties of the ComboBox control specify the property paths used when custom data is bound to the ItemsSource property.
DisplayMemberPath: This defines the property path whose value is displayed as text in the drop-down menu. The default value is an empty string (string.Empty).
TextMemberPath: This defines the property path used for searching based on user input in the selection box portion of the ComboBox. If TextMemberPath is set to null or string.Empty, the search will be based on the value specified in DisplayMemberPath.
For more information, please refer to the user guide documentation: help.syncfusion.com/maui/combobox/searching.

@@SyncfusionInc Kindly please elucidate the TextMemberPath property because I don't really comprehend the definition of this property on the ComboBox control ???

Hi,
The TextMemberPath property in the ComboBox control defines which property from your ItemSource will be used for searching and filtering when the user types in the ComboBox. It ensures that the ComboBox filters its list based on that specific property.
For example, if your data has properties like Name and ID, setting TextMemberPath="Name" will filter options based on the Name field when a user types.
Feel free to reach out if you need further clarification.
