LookUpEditSettingsBase.ApplyItemTemplateToSelectedItem Property

Gets or sets whether to apply the ItemTemplate to the selected item, displayed within the edit box. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Editors.Settings

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Core.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Core

Declaration

C#

public bool ApplyItemTemplateToSelectedItem { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property ApplyItemTemplateToSelectedItem As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true to apply the item template to the selected item; otherwise, false.

Remarks

There are two properties that allow you to change the visual presentation of the selected item (displayed within the edit box) and items displayed within the dropdown list. These are the BaseEdit.EditTemplate and LookUpEditSettingsBase.ItemTemplate properties, respectively. In some instances (e.g. creating an image combobox), it is required to use one template to present the selected item and items displayed within the dropdown list. To do this, set the ApplyItemTemplateToSelectedItem property to true.

The item template is applied only if the combobox’s ButtonEdit.IsTextEditable property is set to false.
