copied!<p><strong>Naive Solution</strong>: Just add brush to the resources and reference it from the Background property (via StaticResource binding) of the ComboBox:</p> <pre><code><Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"> <Window.Resources> <SolidColorBrush x:Key="BackgroundColorKey" Color="Red"/> <Style TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}"> <Style.Triggers> <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True"> <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource BackgroundColorKey}" /> </Trigger> </Style.Triggers> </Style> </Window.Resources> <Grid> <ComboBox Height="25"/> </Grid> </code></pre> <p> <strong>Problem</strong>: After item is selected the background color is reset back to the default color. The only solution to fix this is to override the default template of the combobox. </p> <p><strong>Fix</strong>: Modify default ComboBox template. ComboBox default template is present on msdn.
