Hello,
My question is: How can I hide the on hover highlighting and also when the user clicks on an item highlighting? I just want a flat color with no highlighting on hover and on clicking? I have tried the .ListViewElement.ViewElement.HighlightColor but that doesn't seem to work.
Thank you for helping.

According to the provided screenshot, I suspect that you are using the CrystalDark theme in your project. Please correct me if I am wrong.
The easiest way to disable any highlight or selected style is to customize the theme in Visual Style Builder for the respective elements states. A sample approach how a theme can be customized is demonstrated in the following article:
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/knowledge-base/customize-a-theme
An alternative solution that I can suggest is to handle the VisualItemFormatting event and apply the flat color you want to the visual items:
private void radListView1_VisualItemFormatting(object sender, ListViewVisualItemEventArgs e)
{
e.VisualItem.DrawBorder = false;
e.VisualItem.DrawFill = true;
e.VisualItem.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid;
e.VisualItem.BackColor = this.radListView1.ListViewElement.BackColor;
}I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hi, Bill,
You can extend the previous code snippet and include changing the ForeColor when the item is selected:
public RadForm1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.radListView1.VisualItemFormatting+=radListView1_VisualItemFormatting;
}
private void radListView1_VisualItemFormatting(object sender, ListViewVisualItemEventArgs e)
{
e.VisualItem.DrawBorder = false;
e.VisualItem.DrawFill = true;
e.VisualItem.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid;
e.VisualItem.BackColor = this.radListView1.ListViewElement.BackColor;
if (e.VisualItem.Data.Selected)
{
e.VisualItem.ForeColor = Color.Red;
}
else
{
e.VisualItem.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.ForeColorProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
}
}The same approach can be followed with the BackColor as well. By using this event to customize the items appearance, you should always provide an else clause, where you reset the appearance settings which you have introduced. This is necessary since RadListView uses data virtualization, which might lead to unpredicted appearance results when items are being reused:
