Hello Kevin,

You edit it in Expression Blend. If you don't have Expression Blend you will need a lot of XAML skills. You will have to write ~300 lines of xaml code I suppose.

I am attaching 2 movies that show how editable is the combobox and how I have created a style fairly close to your screenshot. Also I am attaching the project. It still need some polishing like setting some margins and paddings on some of the elements.

All the best,

Hi Manish Kumar,

The ButtonChrome you have selected on your screenshot is a Control. You can right-click it select edit template - edit a copy and modify its MouseOver state.

Hi

I tried exactly what you have suggested but I am facing an issue with it. I am not getting any simple way to acheive Reddish glow on mouse over of  the Combobox it always gives me yellow. When ever I try to edit the template or style i get lots of error (see the7 attached files). It'll be a great help from you if you can guide me or give me some direction to follow this requirement, to change mouse over color on combobox control. I only need to know where exactly i can make change so that my requirement gets fulfilled. I also used some inbuilt Themes like Windows7 through which i am able to stop yellow glow, but again , though i tried changing the background but still problem remain as it is.

Best Regards,
Manish

Hi Kevin Tran,

The problem is trivial. For some unknown reason Blend puts the color resources after the ControlTemplate so they can not be resolved from the ButtonChrome. The solution is simple - go to the Resources tab and move the brushes above the ButtonChrome style. I am attaching a video that demonstrates how you can edit the mouse over of the RadComboBox.

Best wishes,
