Hi @Subarna

Displaying the names of selected items in a combo box control becomes challenging due to its limited width, allowing only 3 or 4 items to be visible. Adjusting the width is essential to achieve a balance that ensures the display of selected item names.

Thanks!

This issue arises when the items selected by the user exceed the size of the dropdown box, and unfortunately, combo boxes don't support word wrapping (that I know of). There are two potential solutions: either expand the size of your dropdown dynamically based on the selected items, or display the selected items in a text label next to the box, allowing for all items to be shown.

If I have answered your question, please mark your post as Solved.

Hi Rick,
Instead of items is it possible to display as persons since the combo box contains data of the name of the persons so instead of 8 items, I want it as 8 persons.

Unfortunately, customizing the message within the combo box itself doesn't seem to be possible. However, a workaround could involve overlaying a custom label on top of the combo box to display the desired message. It's important to ensure that this doesn't affect the functionality of the combo box.

//Label Text Property $"{CountRows(ComboBox1.SelectedItems)} persons"
