WPF - prevents ListBox items from being selected

I would like to prevent ListBoxItems from being selected in my ListBox. My DataTemplate has a checkbox and that should be the only thing the user can click or select. How can i do this? Thank!

When your user tries (un) to check your checkboxes, then the element will become "active" in some way. And the focused style will be applied. As far as I know, there is no way to disable selection (because if you made your checkboxes it won't work), but you can override the focused (or selected) style of the list items.

This is almost a duplicate question. You are actually asking two questions here:

Make the style ListBoxItem

not show highlighting (look elsewhere on SO for this answer) or replace ListBox

with ItemsControl

if you don't need other features that ListBox

.

Bind the CheckCheck IsChecked property to the parent property ListBoxItem.IsSelected

:

<CheckBox 
   IsChecked="{Binding
      RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, 
                                     AncestorType=ListBoxItem},
      Path=IsSelected}"
/>
