ListView/ListBox Selected Item Color – Active and Out of Focus

The following snippet of XAML can help you set a fixed color scheme for a selected item in the list controls whether the control has focus or not.

   1: <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">


   2:         <ListView Background="SeaGreen">


   3:           <ListView.Resources>                        


   4:             <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" Color="Red"/>


   5:             <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.ControlBrushKey}">            


   6:                   Red


   7:             </SolidColorBrush>


   8:             <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">


   9:               <Style.Triggers>


  10:                 <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">


  11:                   <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>


  12:                 </Trigger>


  13:               </Style.Triggers>


  14:             </Style>


  15:           </ListView.Resources>


  16:             <ListViewItem>String 1</ListViewItem>


  17:             <ListViewItem>String 2</ListViewItem>


  18:             <ListViewItem>String 3</ListViewItem>


  19:         </ListView>


  20:         <Button>Button 1</Button>


  21:     </StackPanel>
