Where to find the default ComboBox ControlTemplate
?
Is there any tool to extract it from a ComboBox
instance?
All I've found is a ComboBox ControlTemplate
example, which is completely different from the default one.
In the Designer -> Right Click the ComboBox -> Edit Template -> Edit a Copy
Msdn Reference: ComboBox Styles and Templates
For the lazy: (using the method in the accepted answer, for .NET 4.7.2)
