Hi,

I have a combo box, and i have turned off the 'allow searching' because i didn't want the keyboard to show, because, but when i have done this the the 'Inputtexplaceholder' text is removed, but when i put the 'IsSearchable' back to 'true' and place holder text is shown.

Is there a way in code that i can remove the is searchable, and still have the place holder text, or do i need to use a different control altogether.

the screenshot below is how i would like the end result, no search text input, but still with placeholder shown:

I have a feeling i maybe using the wrong box?

Thank you, i await your replies.

Hi @AndyPowerAppNew ,

Sort answer - no with a combo box - the InputTextPlaceholder is only visible for searching. You could however put a Label under the Combo Box (send it to the back), make the Combo Box Fill Transparent and have the Visible of the Label - replace xxxx with the output (Value/Result/FieldName) of the Combo Box.

Len(ComboBoxName.Selected.xxxx) = 0

For anyone who finds this in the future, try the NoSelectionText property. It operates like the InputTextPlaceholder property when IsSearchable=false.
