How do you set up a combobox in Silverlight to allow clicking through items?

Question

I have several databound comboboxes in my application and I notice that when i open the combobox to click on an item it doesn't select the item unless i click to the right of the text. I'm assuming there is some way to include the text area as part of the item in terms of making a selection. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I was using :

<ComboBoxItem Content="{Binding time}"/>

It worked fine after I switched it to:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding time}"/>

Now no matter where I click it still selects.

Hope this helps the next guy.

Answer 2

Thanks for the tip, I figured out how to get around it aswell, but like you I thought the default setup would work like this so I searched for a simple answer. I was wrong you would have to handle the click and pass it back manually
