In my WPF app I just want to change the background color of the Combo box. I don't mean the dropdown, I want is just whatever item is selected a background is set. Like setting the background of a button - when the control is displayed on screen it should have LightYellow background. That's it. I searched a lot on net, but everywhere could find solutions for drop down background colors. I tried applying SolidColorBrush and Style.Triggers to the TextBlock of Combobox, but no success as wanted. By adding SolidColorBrush lines, I got my dropdown background set, but that's not what I am looking for. My code is :
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding MtrCm}" SelectedValue="{Binding WellboreDiameter_Unit, Mode=TwoWay}" Grid.Row="1" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,26,249,0" x:Name="cboWellDiameter" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" Background="LightYellow" >
<ComboBox.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.WindowBrushKey}" Color="Yellow" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightTextBrushKey}" Color="Yellow" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" Color="Yellow" />
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsSelected, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ComboBoxItem}}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ComboBox.Resources>
</ComboBox>
Can anyone help me set he background of the desired component that am looking for.
Thanks
