This question is about Windows 8 Metro UI’s listview.
In listview with selectionMode set to single, you can drag an item down (in a gridLayout) or to the right(in a listLayout) a little bit and release to select the item.
However, how do I select an listview item with mouse without invoking it? I tried right click, which triggers a app bar in my application, but in the start screen, a right click on a tile will trigger a selection. How do I make that happen in my application?
Answering my own question as I just get a response from Microsoft.

You can use Ctrl+left-click to select an item.
If you are finding the selection behavior differ from the start menu, the reply also says that is a known issue and may be changed in the future release.
