Ok, thanks, Jeff. I’m spinning my own DataGridTemplateColumn for it but I am having trouble with the selection of a row when the user clicks in the ACTB. The row is selected, but the old selected rows are not de-selected. If I click in a different cell than the one with the ACTB, the row selection behaves correctly, selecting the clicked row and de-selecting other rows.

Ideas or suggestions?

@Janene,
No new data grid column type yet, sorry.

I’m trying to use the new AutoCompleteBox in a DataGrid and it’s not playing well. I’d hoped it would allow the user to navigate through the list of choices by using arrow keys, but arrow keys are used to navigate through the cells instead. In addition, when a user types into the AutoCompleteBox then just clicks in another row, the highlighting of the selected row is not updated and the user has 2 rows highlighted.

Has the WPF team developed a new DataGrid column type using the AutoCompleteBox?

Thanks for the controls great work.

I am experiencing the same issue as Darin, has there been a fix for this yet?

Would be deadly if I could get this sorted.

I have been trying out the Autocomplet and great work. I am running into an issue with trying to bind and use UpdateSourceTrigger property (PropertyChanged). It is not updating the model nor running the validation (IDataErrorInfo). Any ideas?

Ah nevermind, all I had to do was not use the TabIndex property on my other controls and make sure the controls were in the XAML file in the same order as the tab order I wanted.

That’s ok I understand, any idea how I might be able to hack it together?

@Chris,
The goal for this first release was to get the Silverlight-compatible interface working; since Silverlight doesn’t have a TabIndex property that works, this isn’t something we focused on integration unfortunately.

I’ve been trying out the AutoCompleteBox but for some reason it completely ignores TabIndex option. Any idea why?

Jeff …. awesome job and this is so appreciated! now, no silverlight/wpf appliction has any excuse for not giving users auto complete functionality. it’s this type of innovation that raises the bar for the user experience on the web. And that is a very good thing for a chronic silverligtaholic.

Cheers!

Yes, yes, yes! This is a GREAT addition to the WPF toolkit and something I’ve been waiting for a long time.

Many, many thanks!

There’s only one appropriate comment here: “About f-ing time!”

The silverlight toolkit is LIGHTYEARS ahead of the crappy WPF toolkit. PLEASE PORT MORE!

Yes, this is great news! Already got the Accordion working in one of my apps where I did some substituting with several Expanders in a StackPanel. Good job!

Hopefully, we will soon see more SL controls being ported over to WPF. Also would like to see the new controls be supported in WPF Themes.

Thanks
