Start ListView with no items selected

Question

When my app starts, there is a ListView populated with data. How do I set it so that the first row is not selected automatically? Ie I don't want any items to be selected until the user clicks one

I have tried:

setting the property bound to the ListView's SelectedItem to null (the property is bound two-way),
setting the FallBackValue of the SelectedItem to null

but neither of these worked. Is there a way to do this, or am i stuck with the first item being selected when the app starts?

By default nothing will be selected. Can you show XAML to see whats wrong? Do you use grouping? — Jawahar, Dec 17 '14 at 08:52
OK, got it sorted. 'IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem' is not your friend. ;-) — mcalex, Dec 17 '14 at 08:55
Yes here is example of IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem =true [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16429392/cant-clear-listbox-selection-using-selecteditem-null-mvvm) — Jamaxack, Dec 17 '14 at 09:00

If you dont put SelectedItem or SelectedIndex it is not selecting anithing, but you want to set than try this code:

<ListView IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True">
        <ListViewItem>Some text1</ListViewItem>
        <ListViewItem>Some text1</ListViewItem>
        <ListViewItem>Some text1</ListViewItem>
        <ListViewItem>Some text1</ListViewItem>
    </ListView>

It seems you are right about it not selecting anything. I had 'IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True"' which looks like it was causing the problem. When I removed that, it works. – mcalex Dec 17 '14 at 08:51
