Listbox with Custom Listitem -- Prevent Selection?

Question

I have a listbox that uses a UserControl as the item template. Inside the UserControl, I have an image (an X) that when clicked, sends out event to remove the UserControl(listitem) from the listbox.

Is there a way to prevent the listbox from selecting that item when a user clicks on the image but still allows listitem selection for everything else in the control?

Answer 1

Make sure you mark the event as handled when the user clicks the Image:

private void ImageClicked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    //send out event to remove UserControl

    //ensure the event doesn't bubble up further to the ListBoxItem
    e.Handled = true;
}
