Disable blue border for selected Listview item

c#, listview, wpf, xaml

Solution

You need to overwrite the `SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey` for the `ListView` to be `Transparent` (or whatever color you want)

I typically put this in the `ListView.Resources` so it only applies to the specific `ListView`, and not all `ListViews` in my application

<ListView.Resources>
    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" 
                     Color="Transparent"/>
</ListView.Resources>

Its very close to what you have in your code already, but you need to set it for the `ListView.Resources`, not `ListViewItem.Resources`

Problem

I have a ListView with Horizontal WrapPanel as its ItemsPanelTemplate. I want to get rid of the blue background for selected item. It is visible only on the left of the selected item. There are many similar question on SO and I tried a lot of the solutions and none of them worked. This is what I have already tried: ``` <ListView.Resources> <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}"> <Style.Resources> <!-- Foreground for Selected ListViewItem --> <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightTextBrushKey}" Color="Black"/> <!-- Background for Selected ListViewItem --> <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" Color="Transparent"/> <!--SelectedItem without focus--> <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.ControlBrushKey}" Color="Transparent"/> </Style.Resources> </Style> </ListView.Resources> <ListView.ItemContainerStyle> <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}"> <EventSetter Event="Control.MouseDoubleClick" Handler="HandleSelectedItemDoubleClick"/> <Style.Triggers> <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="true"> <Setter Property="RenderTransform"> <Setter.Value> <ScaleTransform ScaleX="2" ScaleY="2" CenterX="12" CenterY="12" /> </Setter.Value> </Setter> <Setter Property="Panel.ZIndex" Value="150"/> <Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{x:Null}"/> <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{x:Null}" /> <Setter Property="Background" Value="{x:Null}" /> </Trigger> </Style.Triggers> </Style> </ListView.ItemContainerStyle> <ListView.ItemsPanel> <ItemsPanelTemplate> <WrapPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Width="210" Margin="15" /> </ItemsPanelTemplate> </ListView.ItemsPanel> ```
