title: How do I set a different background colour on item click of ListView for metro/WinRT app?
body: <p>I have tried for about half an hour myself through both Expression Blend 5 Beta and Visual Studio 11 Beta but cannot figure out what should be a fairly trivial task on how to apply a different background colour when you click on a <code>ListView</code> item over the standard navy green with the tick which appears to ship standard on WinRT apps with Windows 8 Consumer Preview.</p>
  
  <p>I believe I would need a <code>&lt;VisualStateManager/&gt;</code> declaration inside my XAML inside the <code>&lt;DataTemplate/&gt;</code> of my ListView (the same as what I did on a <code>Button</code> control), but cannot work out a way to get the "States" tab functioning in Blend to start recording these actions, and furthermore I am not sure what name to call the <code>VisualState</code> after I eventually work out how to do this.</p>
  
  <p>For instance, customising the <code>Pressed</code> visual state for a <code>Button</code> was fairly easy after I right clicked and edited it's control template I could then access the "States" tab in Blend and start recording my Pressed, Disabled, PointerOver actions etc, but doesn't seem to be that easy with ListView's or possibly other controls?</p>
  
  <p>Due to both Blend 5 and VS 11 being Beta, it makes it difficult to know what could just be an uncoded feature in the UI of Blend, or simply me doing things wrong! So I appreciate any help anyone could provide.
  Thanks</p>
