Hi Hasanuzzaman,

The RadComboBox control ignores the SelctionBoxTemplate property when there are statically declared RadComboBoxItem's and uses the ContentTemplate of the selected RadComboBoxItem. There are two solutions to this issue:

1. To dynamically declare ComboBox items via bindings.
2. Use <system:String> to statically declare content items. Here is a simple code representing that:

<telerik:RadComboBox

            SelectionBoxTemplate="{StaticResource SelectionBoxTemplate}"

           


            >

            <system:String>Item 1</system:String>

            <system:String>Item 2</system:String>

            <system:String>Item 3</system:String>

</telerik:RadComboBox>

Hope this helps.

All the best,
