I have a radcombobox in which the items are set in xaml. Each item is a stackpanel with two colored rectangles to simulate a color pallet.

When an item is selected, it is not displayed in the radcombobox. I have tried this with Silverlight's default combobox, and it works as expected.
 
Do Silverlight's ComboBox control and the RadCombobox typically behave differently in this way? What could be causing the different behaviors?

<telerik:RadComboBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="28,344,0,0" Name="radComboBox1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="250">
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem >
                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                    <Rectangle Fill="Red" Width="111" Height="20" />
                    <Rectangle Fill="Blue" Width="111"  Height="20"/>
                </StackPanel>
            </telerik:RadComboBoxItem>
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem >
                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                    <Rectangle Fill="Green" Width="111" Height="20" />
                    <Rectangle Fill="Red" Width="111"  Height="20"/>
                </StackPanel>
            </telerik:RadComboBoxItem>
        </telerik:RadComboBox>

Hi Morgan,

To display the selected item we are using SelectionBox. So the box doesn't know how to display the rectangles and you need to set SelectionBoxTemplate. How to achieve that you can see here.

Hello Matt,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I fixed the link in the Georgi's post and I am also posting it here in my reply: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/silverlight/controls/radcombobox/features/populating-with-data-selectionbox
