I have this WinRT XAML:

<ComboBox x:Name="comboxGroupName" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Margin="4" Width="200" Height="36" HorizontalAlignment="Left" ></ComboBox>

When I click in it to enter a new value, though, it seems to convert itself into a readonly textbox (it loses its down arrow and disallows any typing into it). What do I need to do to allow adding values into the comboBox? Or do I need to use a separate TextBox to do that (I reckon so, but I’d like to avoid that if reasonably possible)?

    It looks like your only option will be to use a seperate TextBox. There is an IsEditable property, but it states:

    Gets a value that indicates whether the user can edit text in the text box portion of the ComboBox. This property always returns false.

    and the ComboBox Page states:

    You populate the ComboBox by adding objects directly to the Items collection or by binding the ItemsSource property to a data source. Items added to the ComboBox are wrapped in ComboBoxItem containers.
