Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.ComboBoxItem

-description

Represents the container for an item in a ComboBox control.

-xaml-syntax

<ComboBoxItem .../>
-or-
<ComboBoxItem ...>
  content
</ComboBoxItem>

-remarks

The ComboBoxItem class provides the container for items displayed in a ComboBox control. You populate the ComboBox by adding objects directly to its Items collection or by binding its ItemsSource property to a data source. When items are added to the ComboBox, a ComboBoxItem container is created automatically for each item in the collection.

You can specify the look of the ComboBoxItem by setting the ComboBox's ItemContainerStyle property to a Style with a TargetType of ComboBoxItem.

Control style and template

You can modify the default Style and ControlTemplate to give the control a unique appearance. For information about modifying a control's style and template, see Styling controls. The default style, template, and resources that define the look of the control are included in the generic.xaml file. For design purposes, generic.xaml is available locally with the SDK or NuGet package installation.

  • WinUI Styles (recommended): For updated styles from WinUI, see \Users\<username>\.nuget\packages\microsoft.ui.xaml\<version>\lib\uap10.0\Microsoft.UI.Xaml\Themes\generic.xaml.
  • Non-WinUI styles: For built-in styles, see %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Windows Kits\10\DesignTime\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\UAP\<SDK version>\Generic\generic.xaml.

Locations might be different if you customized the installation. Styles and resources from different versions of the SDK might have different values.

XAML also includes resources that you can use to modify the colors of a control in different visual states without modifying the control template. Modifying these resources is preferred to setting properties such as Background and Foreground. For more info, see the Light-weight styling section of the XAML styles article. Light-weight styling resources are available starting in Windows 10, version 1607 (SDK 14393).
