WPF Trigger for IsSelected in a DataTemplate for ListBox items

You can style your ContentControl such that a trigger fires when its container (the ListBoxItem) becomes selected:

<ContentControl 
    x:Name="designerContent"
    MinHeight="100"
    Margin="2,0,2,2"
    Content="{Binding Path=DesignerInstance}"
    Background="#FF999898">
    <ContentControl.Style>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type ContentControl}">
            <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed"/>
            <Style.Triggers>
                <DataTrigger
                        Binding="{Binding
                            RelativeSource={RelativeSource
                                Mode=FindAncestor,
                                AncestorType={x:Type ListBoxItem}},
                                Path=IsSelected}"
                        Value="True">
                    <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"/>
                </DataTrigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </ContentControl.Style>
</ContentControl>

Alternatively, I think you can add the trigger to the template itself and reference the control by name. I don't know this technique well enough to type it from memory and assume it'll work, but it's something like this:

<DataTemplate x:Key="ScenarioItemTemplate">
    <DataTemplate.Triggers>
        <DataTrigger
                Binding="{Binding
                    RelativeSource={RelativeSource
                        Mode=FindAncestor,
                        AncestorType={x:Type ListBoxItem}},
                        Path=IsSelected}"
                Value="True">
            <Setter
                TargetName="designerContent"
                Property="Visibility"
                Value="Visible"/>
        </DataTrigger>
    </DataTemplate.Triggers>

    ...
</DataTemplate>

@Matt, Thank you!!!

Just had to add a trigger for IsSelected == false as well, and now it works like a charm!

<ContentControl.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ContentControl}">
    <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed"/>
    <Style.Triggers>
        <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor,AncestorType={x:Type ListBoxItem}},Path=IsSelected}" Value="True">
            <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"/>
        </DataTrigger>
        <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor,AncestorType={x:Type ListBoxItem}},Path=IsSelected}" Value="False">
            <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed"/>
        </DataTrigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
</Style>
