ListView with GridView selected row - remove 3D appearance

Question

I have a WPF ListView that contains a GridView. I want the selected row to look \"flat\" and not 3d style.

Dose anyone know how to do this? Thanks, Smadar

Answer 1

The 3D look is part of the default style. To change this you need to replace the ControlTemplate for ListViewItem. Here's a simple example which produces the following:

Note: The default templates are located here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms788747.aspx. Since there is no way to change part of a ControlTemplate or base one off of an existing template, I usually try to keep as much of the default template as I can, and only change the parts I care about. It's a little verbose but should do what you're looking for.
