Background and BorderBrush

[jeffreinhart]

Thank you so much for this control! It is extremely helpful. Why WPF does not include an autocomplete combo box is beyond me.

Is it possible to set the Background and BorderBrush? I have tried:

<dotNetKitControls:AutoCompleteComboBox
    ...
    Background="Yellow"
    BorderBrush="Blue"
    BorderThickness="4"
    >

BorderThickness works. I set that to see changes to the border color more easily.

Background and BorderBrush do not have any effect.

I know that wrapping the control in a <border> element is an option but I would prefer to avoid that if possible as I would need to apply the same to all other controls in the form for continuity and would prefer not to have <border> be the parent element.

I appreciate your polite and informative question. However, I'm sorry, I can't offer a direct answer. The question is out of the scope of the library.

See my reply from the issue #31 for more details.

AutoCompleteComboBox is basically ComboBox with IsEditable=True except for behaviors. WPF combobox doesn't seem to support Background. (You could use ControlTemplate or something maybe?)

  <ComboBox IsEditable="True" IsTextSearchEnabled="False" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" Background="Blue" />

Thanks!
