Removing ListView mousover highlight in MAUI

Question

I am building an app in MAUI .NET8, and don't seem to find any way of removing the mousover highlight on a ListView item in Windows.

There are no obvious properties that I can see, nor can I find any documentation on how to do this. I found a few potential solutions online in WPF and Xamarin, but none of these seem applicable to MAUI.

Thanks in advance.

Please open App.xaml` in the `Platforms/Windows folder, Create a <maui:MauiWinUIApplication.Resources> and add following Resources, set the ListViewItemBackgroundPointerOver's color to Transparent

<maui:MauiWinUIApplication
    x:Class="MauiApp8.WinUI.App"

    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:maui="using:Microsoft.Maui"
    xmlns:local="using:MauiApp8.WinUI">
 
    <!--create a MauiWinUIApplication.Resources and add following resouces-->
     <maui:MauiWinUIApplication.Resources>
          <ResourceDictionary>
              <Color x:Key="MyListTransparentColor">#00000000</Color>
              <SolidColorBrush x:Key="MySystemControlHighlightListLowRevealBackgroundBrush" Color="{StaticResource MyListTransparentColor}" />
               <StaticResource x:Key="ListViewItemBackgroundPointerOver" ResourceKey="MySystemControlHighlightListLowRevealBackgroundBrush" />
         </ResourceDictionary>
     </maui:MauiWinUIApplication.Resources>

</maui:MauiWinUIApplication>
