StringFormat on Combobox Displaymemberpath

combobox, string-formatting, wpf

Solution

You can simply use the `ItemStringFormat` property.

Note: This works only if `IsEditable` is set to `False`

<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding YourItems}"
          DisplayMemberPath="MyDateField"
          ItemStringFormat="{}{0:dd/MM/yyyy}"
          IsEditable="False" />

Problem

I am trying to use StringFormat on DisplayMemberPath property of a ComboBox (WPF). But i don't know even if this is possible. can someone help me with some ideas. I am trying to do something like this: ``` <ComboBox DisplayMemberPath="{Binding Path=MyDateField, StringFormat={}{0:dd/MM/yyyy}}" Name="CmbName" Width="120" /> ``` But it isn't working... Thx All
