RadComboboxItem foreground

[Mike]

Hi,
I have been struggling with the foreground property since yesterday.

I'm trying to restyle the Combobox to be similar to the ExpressionDark toolkit.
However, when it come to the ComboboxItem, I can't set the foreground property.

I've tried <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/> in different location within the XAML but I'm always stuck with the black foreground.

Am I missing something (bug maybe) or I just do something wrong??

Finally found it. I had to create a Style just for the foreground property and apply it to my contentcontrol.  I dunno why i didn't figure it since yesterday.


<Style x:Key="WhiteForeground" TargetType="ContentControl">
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
</Style>
       

        <Style x:Key="ComboBoxItem_HighlightChromeStyle" TargetType="Telerik_Windows_Controls_Chromes:ButtonChrome">
            <Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False"/>
            <Setter Property="Template" Value="{StaticResource ComboBoxItem_HighlightChromeTemplate}"/>
        </Style>
        <Style x:Key="RadComboBoxItemStyle1" TargetType="telerikInput:RadComboBoxItem">
            <Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="16"/>
            <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0 0 0 1"/>
            <Setter Property="Padding" Value="3 0"/>
            <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
            <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
            <Setter Property="Template">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <ControlTemplate TargetType="telerikInput:RadComboBoxItem">

We are glad that you have figure it out yourself.
Currently we are working on the proper application of the Foreground property of the ComboBoxItem, i.e. after the official release you will be able to set the Foreground property of each Item and it will work as expected.

Hi,

I have upgraded from Q3 09 to Q1 10 and face a very frustrating issue with the foreground of my combobox. 

Before it was a black background and a white foreground (In the dropdown and on selection). 

Now after the upgrade all the items in the dropdown have a foreground of white but when I select one and the dropdown closes the selected item is show in back text (foreground).

Can you help please?

Hello Tobias,

Thank you for contacting us.

Could you please send us a code snippet of the xaml code of your ComboBox? Also, could you explain what exactly you expect to be the behaviour of the Foreground property of the ComboBox? In that way we will be able to assist you in the best manner.

Looking forward to your reply.

All the best,
