ComboBoxEditBase.IsFilterEnabled Property

Gets or sets whether the user input and item filtering is enabled. This is a bindable property.

Assembly : DevExpress.Maui.Editors.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Maui.Editors

Declaration

csharp

public bool IsFilterEnabled { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	false

true to enable filtering; otherwise, false.

Remarks

When the filter functionality is enabled in a combo box, you can specify the PlaceholderText property to display a text prompt. The combo box displays this prompt in the edit box before a user enters a filter query.

If the IsFilterEnabled property is set to true, the ComboBoxEdit control ignores the ContentPage.HideSoftInputOnTapped property.

Example

The following example shows how to customize combo box appearance and set up item filtering.
