Look at this question: Disable cross-slide selection for a listview

You can also make changes to the template to remove any visual states and adornments - go to the designer and right click your ListView/Edit Additional Templates/Edit Generated Item Container (ItemContainerStyle)/Edit a Copy... - that will extract the template you can modify using your preferred method.

Sadly the extended style is no longer generated by Blend (it only generates the default), but it's available from the msdn msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/… . – Polyhydroxy

Yes, I think the current ListViewItem template is very simplified - I suspect it's actually rendered at a platform/renderer level to improve performance and so if you want to customize it - you are actually complicating the template. – Unbacked

yeah, sadly, I haven't figured out a better way of disabling all the item click animations while still retaining ScrollIntoView. – Polyhydroxy

After some googling I found that the highlighting happens in the ListViewItemPresenter, which turns out to be pretty hidden. It's located inside the ControlTemplate of an ListViewItem, which is the ItemContainer for the ListView. The simplest way I've found to disable the effect is to simply override this ControlTemplate:

<ListView>
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
    <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate>
                    <ContentPresenter/>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<TextBlock Text="List Item" />
...
<TextBlock Text="List Item" />

but please bear in mind this will break the accessibilty of the control.. – Coincidence
