C# Winforms：将 "Select from list..." 占位符添加到数据绑定组合框

Question

我有一个像这样数据绑定的组合框：

comboBox.InvokeIfRequired(delegate
        {
            var data = db.GetData();
            comboBox.DisplayMember = "Value";
            comboBox.ValueMember = "ID";
            comboBox.DataSource = data;
        });

它工作正常，但它预选了第一个数据绑定值。我希望使用 "Select item from list..."

等占位符预选组合框

什么是最好的way/approach？
a) 添加到数据变量空项
b) 通过 combobox 变量属性设置？如果有，是哪些？
c) 其他

Answer 1

只需使用文本属性并在那里写 "Select item from list..."

Answer 2

我找到了这个 here

的解决方案

代码是：

private const int EM_SETCUEBANNER = 0x1501;        

    [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
    private static extern Int32 SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int msg, int wParam, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string lParam);

    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    private static extern bool GetComboBoxInfo(IntPtr hwnd, ref COMBOBOXINFO pcbi);
    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]

    private struct COMBOBOXINFO
    {
        public int cbSize;
        public RECT rcItem;
        public RECT rcButton;
        public UInt32 stateButton;
        public IntPtr hwndCombo;
        public IntPtr hwndItem;
        public IntPtr hwndList;
    }

    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
    private struct RECT
    {
        public int left;
        public int top;
        public int right;
        public int bottom;
    }

    public static void SetCueText(Control control, string text)
    {
        if (control is ComboBox)
        {
            COMBOBOXINFO info = GetComboBoxInfo(control);
            SendMessage(info.hwndItem, EM_SETCUEBANNER, 0, text);
        }
        else
        {
            SendMessage(control.Handle, EM_SETCUEBANNER, 0, text);
        }
    }

    private static COMBOBOXINFO GetComboBoxInfo(Control control)
    {
        COMBOBOXINFO info = new COMBOBOXINFO();
        //a combobox is made up of three controls, a button, a list and textbox;
        //we want the textbox
        info.cbSize = Marshal.SizeOf(info);
        GetComboBoxInfo(control.Handle, ref info);
        return info;
    }

然后你可以像这样简单地使用它：

SetCueText(comboBox, "text");

这也适用于文本框。
