Floating hint in default ComboBox style

[Tenjim]

Hi guys,

I wanna to know if you have this behavior referenced on Material Design : Exposed DropDown Menu

On WPF, I'm using Hint with ComboBox and I have this behavior with different menu status.

Do you have any implementations/workarounds about it ?

Thank in advance.

Hello, @Tenjim

I think what this is what you need: https://github.com/AvaloniaCommunity/Material.Avalonia/issues/101#issuecomment-900148274 Does this solve your problem?

Hi @SKProCH ,

Not really. I want to have hint when I don't have any value in the combobox and the behavior that replace hint by combox value selected and finaly put hint above.

Like this :

It's the same behavior in your demo do with TextBox and TextFieldAssist.

Hmm, @Tenjim

You can use PlaceholderText or ComboBoxAssist.Label to set hint what will look like this:

Is that one what you needed?

Hi @SKProCH

The ComboBoxAssist is not working in the ComboBox without class.

<ComboBox assist:ComboBoxAssist.Label="ComboBox"> <TextBlock Text="Item 1" /> <TextBlock Text="Item 2" /> <TextBlock Text="Item 3" /> <TextBlock Text="Item 4" /> </ComboBox>

Here is what i expect (in wpf material design) :

Is there an easy way to have this ? Thanks :)

Seems like this currently not available. You can use Outline ComboBox style or wait untill i or @appleneko2001 impletent floating hint in regular ComboBoxes. But we don't have much time right now because of work.

Hello, @Stensan. Currently - no yet. I've trying to find time to finish TextBoxes rework, and after that I hope what i can quickly do ComboBoxes rework.
