WPF ListView turn off selection

by

Per Martin Konicek’s comment, to fully disable the selection of the items in the simplest manner:

<ListView>
    <ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
            <Setter Property="Focusable" Value="false"/>
        </Style>
    </ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
    ...
</ListView>

However if you still require the functionality of the ListView, like being able to select an item, then you can visually disable the styling of the selected item like so:

You can do this a number of ways, from changing the ListViewItem’s ControlTemplate to just setting a style (much easier). You can create a style for the ListViewItems using the ItemContainerStyle and ‘turn off’ the background and border brush when it is selected.

<ListView>
    <ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
            <Style.Triggers>
                <Trigger Property="IsSelected"
                         Value="True">
                    <Setter Property="Background"
                            Value="{x:Null}" />
                    <Setter Property="BorderBrush"
                            Value="{x:Null}" />
                </Trigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
    ...
</ListView>

Also, unless you have some other way of notifying the user when the item is selected (or just for testing) you can add a column to represent the value:

<GridViewColumn Header="IsSelected"
                DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ListViewItem}}, Path=IsSelected}" />
