Solution

  • According to this,

    You will have to set the styles in the resources of the element. In my case it's a window. So it's

     <Window.Resources>
    <Style x:Key="ComboBoxItemStyle" TargetType="ComboBoxItem">
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Blue" />
    </Style>
    <Style x:Key="ComboBoxStyle" TargetType="ComboBox">
        <Setter Property="ItemContainerStyle" Value="{StaticResource ComboBoxItemStyle}" />
    </Style>
</Window.Resources>

    Set a style for ComboBoxItem. And use that style when you set the style for the ComboBox

    Then apply the Combobox Style to the element.

    <ComboBox Name="myCmb" Style="{StaticResource ComboBoxStyle}">
