Question

I am working on a module in windows store application, where I am using listview control to show items in the list, whenever an item is selected, it gets highlighted with purple color and a tick bar appears ahead of it. I want that only item should be highlighted, tick bar should not come. How can I achieve this.
Can anyone help me.
Thanks

Answer 1

In visual studio please right click on the listview

1. Go to Edit Additional Template
2. Edit Generated Item Container
3. Click on Edit and Copy
4. Click on OK button
5. then go to the XAML code and find the an appropriate VisualState ( I think it is Selected )

UPDATE
Adding following code under your first tag in the page ( <common:LayoutAwarePage or Page) and edit <VisualState x:Name="Selected">

<Page.Resources>
    <Style x:Key="ListViewItemStyle1" TargetType="ListViewItem">
