Remove Highlight Effect from ListViewItem

In a ListView there are ListviewItems where they must not change appearance when the mouse is over them or they are selected.

I tried to accomplish that with this style and did somewhat succeed:

<Style x:Key="ItemContainerStyle1" TargetType="ListViewItem">
    <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left"/>
    <Style.Triggers>
        <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
            <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0" />
            <Setter Property="Focusable" Value="False" />
        </Trigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
</Style>

But the it raised a new issue. When the background is set to "Transparent" I am now able to see this hover/glossy effect that is shown at the picture below, when the mouse is over a list view item.

enter image description here

I have tried to solve the problem with this attempt, but with no luck.

<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
    <Style.Resources>
      <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" Color="#00000000"/>
      <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.ControlBrushKey}" Color="#00000000"/>
    </Style.Resources>
</Style>

Anyone have an idea how to remove this hover effect?

I just added code this in ControlTemplate Trigger :

<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
     <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
     <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource White_200}"/>
</Trigger>

Here is full Example for ListViewItem Template Style;

<ListView x:Name="ListViewMenu" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=SubItems}" 
                      Background="Transparent" Foreground="White" BorderThickness="0"
                      ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
                      ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
                      Height="210">
                <ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
                    <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
                        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
                        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#808182" />
                        <Setter Property="Template">
                            <Setter.Value>
                                <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
                                    <Border x:Name="Bd" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
                                        <ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
                                    </Border>
                                    <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                                        <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="true">
                                            <Setter Property="Background" TargetName="Bd" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}}"/>
                                            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.HighlightTextBrushKey}}"/>
                                        </Trigger>
                                        <MultiTrigger>

                                            </MultiTrigger.Conditions>

                                            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.InactiveSelectionHighlightTextBrushKey}}"/>
                                        </MultiTrigger>
                                        <Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false">
                                            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.GrayTextBrushKey}}"/>
                                        </Trigger>
                                        <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">

This answer is similar to that by Big Kev but for a GridView which needs the GridViewRowPresenter instead of the ContentPresenter.

I liked Kev's answer best because it removed the default hover highlighting and still gives control over the style using the IsMouseOver Trigger which the other answers did not.

<Setter Property="Template">
    <Setter.Value>
        <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
            <Border Name="Border" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" 
                                  BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" 
                                  Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
                <GridViewRowPresenter Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"
                                      Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" />
            </Border>
        </ControlTemplate>
    </Setter.Value>
</Setter>

For me, worked well, like this:

<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
  <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
    <Style.Triggers>
      <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
        <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0" />
      </Trigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
  </Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>

                            <Setter Property="Template">

                                    <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
                                        <ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="2,3,2,3" />
                                    </ControlTemplate>
                                </Setter.Value>

I had the same problem, but none of the answers helped me. Searching on the web i found this solution and it worked:

        <ListView.Resources>
            <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
                <Setter Property="Template">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
                            <GridViewRowPresenter />
                        </ControlTemplate>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
            </Style>
        </ListView.Resources>

This work:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">  
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
    <Setter.Value>
        <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
            <Grid Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
                <Border Name="Selection" Visibility="Collapsed" />
                <!-- This is used when GridView is put inside the ListView -->
                <GridViewRowPresenter Grid.RowSpan="2"
                                      Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
                                      HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
                                      VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
                                      SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"/>

            </Grid>

I don't know if this is the only solution but I did it as follows (by setting the Template property of the ListViewItems):

<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
                    <Border
                         BorderBrush="Transparent"
                         BorderThickness="0"
                         Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
                        <GridViewRowPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" Width="Auto" Margin="0" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"/>
                    </Border>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>

EDIT:

Or as Grant Winney suggests (I did not test that myself):

<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
                    <ContentPresenter />
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
