WPF telerik:RadComboBox forecolor doesn't stay colored when selecting it

[John]

I have the following .xaml and it correctly colorizes the foreground on specific items when a certain condition is met (Impinged = True).
However, when I select that item, it doesn't maintain the color. I attempted the following suggestion on this thread but it didn't work. Either because I am working with Telerik or something else.

I tried this but didn't work:

Hi John,

Thank you for the code snippet.

I followed your approach but was unable to replicate the behavior you're describing. Here's what I did - I've placed a RadComboBox inside a GridViewDataColumn and based on a condition, set a red Foreground of the RadComboBoxItem, which, as you said, is correctly colorized. When I click on the item, the dropdown menu is closed and this item is selected. When I open it again the selected item's Foreground is still red which is expected. I have tried this approach with several different themes.

I noticed one part that may potentially cause an unexpected behavior. It is that the SelectedItem is coming from the RadComboBox's DataContext, while the ItemsSource is coming from the DataContext of the RadGridView. Could you, please confirm that is intended?

Attached, you can find a sample project demonstrating the above description. Please, review it and let me know if I am missing a part from your setup.

I was able to actually do it by templatizing the SelectionTemplate. But your suggestion is good too.
