how to change combobox template

[Kashim]

I'm trying to set the combobox template in a jquery way, but doesn't work

$("#titles").kendoComboBox({
        ..//set some other properties except template
});

var combobox = $("#titles").data("kendoComboBox");

// set template
if (something)
{
combobox.template('some template');
}

any ideas why this doesn't work?
