I'm having some issues trying to change the look / style of a combo box in Expression Blend / WPF. While there are tutorials out there describing setting styles for buttons, there seem to be a few wrinkles with ComboBox controls.
Can anyone offer any advice, or point me towards good tutorials that cover re-styling something more complex than a button?
Have a look at BeaCostas SolarSytem Listbox it's a lovely piece of work.
The ComboBox style template has 3 parts to it.
The ContentPresenter you should have come across styling Buttons.
There is a Part_Popup that you should find easy to change properties on and style.
The last part is a ToggleButton, to style that you need to "edit a copy" again and create another new style template for the ToggleButton.
Here is a good blog that has a group of posts on the topic of styling ComboxBox.

This seems to cover the basics as well as some more advanced topics. Hope this helps!
how can you make the selected combo box item load a url? e.g. click a item and loads a webpage
