The response, by Naimish Makwana, "In WPF, the ListBox control does not have a SelectionBackground property. Instead, you can change the background color of a selected item by modifying the ListBox’s item container style. Here’s an example:"

<ListBox x:Name="gLBxEpidemicSequence">
    <ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
            <Style.Triggers>
                <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
                    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Blue"/>
                </Trigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
</ListBox>

I modified the wpf code to:

<ListBox x:Name="gLBxEpidemicSequence" >
    <ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
            <Style.Triggers>
                <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
                    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Blue"/>
                </Trigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
</ListBox>

This wpf code does not change the selected item background color.

When I change the Value to False:

<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="False">

it does change all of the not highlighted items background to blue.

When I set the Foregound to red, it works.

Please advise.
