All I can say is that it works for me both in XAML and code behind. It also states in the MSDN documentation (see Remarks section) that this is how to specify auto-sizing behavior: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.frameworkelement.width(v=vs.110).aspx

Sorry but Width=auto not works.

Vulpes · Answer

Yeah in WPF code behind. In XAML it would be: Width = Auto Just try it.

If you mean that you want to set the width of the combobox to the maximum length of all the items then something like this should work: comboBox1.Width = Double.NaN; comboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0;

Really? 1) Cannot I apply a workaround across style? 2) HTML is more userfriendly

Hello Create new collection and add item using foreach . at the adding time use item.ToUpper() for capitalize. You can not set the width of combobox as the length of items because item's length may very every time.
