First of all, this is not a duplicate of Setting the Inactive Highlight Colour of a WPF ListBox to the Active Highlight Colour. An explanation for that is given below.
Setting:
I have a WPF ListBox in a UserControl that will later be put into an application that uses heavy theming. From the perspective of the UserControl, I don't know in advance what the theming will be like.
Desired behavior:
If the ListBox does not have focus at some point, I still want the selected ListBoxItems to have the same appearance as if the ListBox does have focus.
Additional information:
Note that just setting the colors to some system defaults will not work. Doing so would override the containing application's theming. (That's the reason why this question is not a duplicate of the linked question above.)
Is there a way to realize this, e.g. using XAML?
EDIT: After a bit of research, I think I want to create a copy of the "default" ListBoxItem style ("default" at least in terms of being the default at the level of the UserControl), where all Triggers with Property="Button.IsFocused" Value="False" will not be triggered and all Triggers with Property="Button.IsFocused" Value="True" will always be triggered.
Unfortunately I have no clue where to even start to perform research in how to accomplish this. So any hints towards places where I can start researching would be much appreciated as well.
