Change selected and unfocused Listbox style to not be grayed out
.net, listbox, wpf
Solution
I have done something like this using the following in a merged ResourceDictionary, it may help you:
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Style.Resources>
<!--SelectedItem with focus-->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" Color="LightBlue" Opacity=".4"/>
<!--SelectedItem without focus-->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.InactiveSelectionHighlightBrushKey }" Color="LightBlue" Opacity=".4"/>
</Style.Resources>
</Style>
Problem
I have a really simple WPF ListBox with SelectionMode set to Multiple. ``` <ListBox SelectionMode="Multiple" /> ``` When the ListBox loses focus it's really hard to tell what's been selected because the selection colour changes from blue to a light grey colour. What's the easiest way of changing this behaviour so that it stays blue? I know it's probably something to do with the ListItem's style, but I can't find where. Cheers.
