Thanks, you made some very good points especially about using MouseDown with HandleEventsToo flag instead of PreviewMouseDown. I've updated my tip. Please look at the middle section and ending section. I kinda edited it in hurry; hope I didn't make any mistakes.

Hi, thanks for the comment. Sorry I didn't make it clear that I wanted the "built-in" handler of the control to handle the event; not handle it myself. What I forgot to say in my tip was that I needed multiple selection in my ListView and I didn't want to implement that logic myself in a handler (by using HandleEventsToo parameter in UIElement.AddHandler(...) like you said). I needed the user to be able select text in cells as well as select multiple rows with Ctrl+ or Shift+ with mouse or with arrow keys. This is the reason why I came up with the hacky solution I posted. I will revise my tip to make it clearer. Please re-vote if you think what I've said here is credible, thanks.
