Editable ComboBox

Question

Hi,

I have a ComboBox with IsEditable property set to True. I am assigning ItemSource property a List<KeyValuePair<string,string>> type. I have set the DisplayMemberPath to Key. It is displaying the item list right but Now when I select any item it shows same key in the editable text box. I want to display Value field when any item is selected.

How to achieve that?

Done with the following code.

<Window x:Class="Test.Window1"
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
  Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
  <StackPanel>
    <ComboBox x:Name="cmb" DisplayMemberPath="Key" SelectedValuePath="Value"
            TextSearch.TextPath="Value" IsEditable="True">
    </ComboBox>
    <Button Content="OK" Click="Button_Click"/>
  </StackPanel>
</Window>

namespace Test
{
  public partial class Window1 : Window
  {
    List<KeyValuePair<string,string>> lst = new List<KeyValuePair<string,string>>();

    public Window1()
    {
      InitializeComponent();
      lst.Add(new KeyValuePair<string,string>("A:A","AA"));
      lst.Add(new KeyValuePair<string,string>("B:B","BB"));
      lst.Add(new KeyValuePair<string,string>("C:C","CC"));
      cmb.ItemsSource = lst;
    }

    private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
      MessageBox.Show(cmb.SelectedValue.ToString());
    }
  }
}
