22 Aug 20226 minutes to read

When the entered item is not in the suggestion list, SfComboBox displays a text that indicates no search results found. You can set the desire text to be displayed for indicating no results found using the NoResultsFoundText property.

Customizing NoResultsFoundText

The NoResultsFoundTextColor, NoResultsFoundFontSize, NoResultsFoundFontAttributes, and NoResultsFoundFontFamily properties are used to customize the foreground color, font size, font attribute, and font family of NoResultsFoundText.

XAML

<StackLayout VerticalOptions="Start" HorizontalOptions="Start" Padding="30">
	<combobox:SfComboBox HeightRequest="40" x:Name="comboBox" IsEditableMode="true"  NoResultsFoundText="Country not in the list" NoResultsFoundTextColor="DarkGreen" NoResultsFoundFontSize="20" NoResultsFoundFontAttributes="Bold" NoResultsFoundFontFamily="Pacifico.ttf" />                    
</StackLayout>

C#

comboBox.NoResultsFoundText="Country not in the list";
comboBox.NoResultsFoundTextColor = Color.Blue;
comboBox.NoResultsFoundFontSize = 20;
comboBox.NoResultsFoundFontAttributes = FontAttributes.Bold;
comboBox.NoResultsFoundFontFamily = "Pacifico.ttf"
comboBox.ComboBoxSource = new List<string>() { "Uganda", "Great Britain", "Ukraine", "Canada", "France", "Italy", "United Kingdom", "China", "Japan" };
