I have a little issue.
I have a a ListBox that is bound to a list of object. These Objects have a property that can be set. I have in the LIstBox ItemTemplate (a datatemplate) a combobox that is about to the objects property and the combobox has some hardcoded values.
My problem is that when the list box is displayed and I click ont he combo, only the ListBoxItem is selected, The click never makes it to the combobox!
just to give you an idea.

I found the problem.
My ItemContainerStyle Template had a rectangle and i guess it was implying zindex somehow. When I expclicity told it to draw the content before the border and it’s rectangle, it worked. i just had to add Panel.ZIndex=”1″ and it worked.
