Good afternoon,
I have a listbox that consumes a list of items from a model, Addresses and RAddresses (inherited from Addresses)
Now, previously I have been creating my item templates in the ItemContainerStyle so that I have only my own focus visuals (i.e. no dotted line, no light grey rectangle, etc). This has worked fine in the past.
I now need two templates, one for each type (Address and RAddress). I have created these in the ListBox.resources as default templates (example below):
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type DAL:RAddress}">
I also have my listbox's ItemContainerStyle property pointing to the following:
<Style x:Key="AddressContainerStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="{Binding HorizontalContentAlignment, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ItemsControl}}}"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="{Binding VerticalContentAlignment, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ItemsControl}}}"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="0,0,0,0"/>
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{x:Null}"/>
</Style>
Previously when the Template was applied to the style, this kept the dotted line and grey rectangle visual from displaying. However, now they do so and the VisualState settings I have set up do not seem to get applied.
Whole DataTemplate example follows:
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type DAL:Address}">
<Border x:Name="Bd" SnapsToDevicePixels="true" Background="#4C000000" CornerRadius="10" Padding="0" BorderBrush="#00FF0000" BorderThickness="1">

Previously I have tried using a StyleSelector to select between ItemContainerStyles that were created (one for each type). This caused me to encounter an error "cannot animate '(0).(1)' on an immutable object instance", so I started looking at my present setup.
How can I enforce my own Focus and Selection styling on two separate Item templates hosted in the same ListBox?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
