Hello Steve,

Unfortunately the desired approach cannot be achieved in wpf applications.
AnimationManager.AnimationSelector property is supported for Silverlight only.

I can suggest you to create CustomComboBox something like this:

public class CustomComboBox : RadComboBox
{
    public override void OnApplyTemplate()
    {
        base.OnApplyTemplate();

        var popup = GetTemplateChild("PART_Popup") as System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.Popup;
        popup.Opened += popup_Opened;
    }

    void popup_Opened(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var popup = GetTemplateChild("PART_Popup") as System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.Popup;
        popup.PopupAnimation = PopupAnimation.Fade;
    }
}

I hope this information will be helpful.

All the best,
