<ComboBox> <ListBoxItem Content="Red" Foreground="{Binding Path=Content , RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"/> <ListBoxItem Content="Orange" Foreground="{Binding Path=Content , RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"/> <ListBoxItem Content="Green" Foreground="{Binding Path=Content , RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"/> </ComboBox>which is kinda silly (but neat). But the Foreground color doesn't show up in the ComboBox once an item is selected. Any suggestions?
