I am using the very handy WPF Toolkit Xaml to have a nice GUI. I am having issues however with the combobox items. I have successfully bound to the combobox control, but the items in the dropdown show the bound object, not the displaymember. Funny enough, when I select an item, the correct displaymember is shown in the textbox.
Any help would be appreciated!
Mark.
My XAML to display the combobox:
<ComboBox Name="uxFeatureGroup" Margin="17,16,0,0" Height="23"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="162"
DisplayMemberPath="FeatureGroupName"></ComboBox>
and the XAML in the WPF Template:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}">
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="true" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center" />
