public class CreateRoomDaialogViewModel : ObservableObject {

        public List<User>? _peopleData { get; set; }

        public List<string>? _comboData { get; set; }


        public CreateRoomDaialogViewModel(List<User> PeopleData) {
            _peopleData = PeopleData;
            ComboData();
        }

        private void ComboData() {
            _comboData = new List<string>();

            foreach (var item in _peopleData!) {
                _comboData.Add($"{item.Name} ({item.Email})");
            }
        }

    Hi,@Eduardo Gomez. You could try to refer to the code here.

     <Window.Resources>
        <ControlTemplate x:Key="ComboboxToggleButton" TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
            <Grid Background="{Binding Background,RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ComboBox}}}">
                <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <ColumnDefinition />
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="35" />
                </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <Border x:Name="Border" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Background="Transparent"  BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="{Binding BorderThickness,RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"/>
