Graham: your code produces essentially the same result of Greg's Attempt2. The problem with that solution is that, unlike a Dropdown Content Control inserted via the GUI, the placeholder text is formatted the same as any other selected item instead of being the grey colour of the placeholder text one gets via the GUI.
