XAML listviewitem behavior of a button if mousover

I'm working on a UWP for Windows 10 and wrote the following XAML Code:
<ListView x:Name="listTimetypes" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" Width="220" Margin="8">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate >
<Button x:Name="btnTimeTypes" Content="{Binding Name}" Width="200" Margin="4"
Foreground="Black" Background="#FFE6E6E6"
Style="{StaticResource HoverButtonStyleChange}"
FontSize="15" Click="btnTimeTypes_Click"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
So here comes my question how can i make the items of the listview behave like a button if the mouse hovers a item?

Listview in WinRT using C#

I want my ListView to display the items in a group horizontally as displayed in the image below. I could not find anything relating to this online. This screen was taken from the Groove music application. Since I am new to asking questions here it seems I don't have enough reputation to post images therefore I provided a link to the image in question sorry for the inconvenience.

Edit:
I am trying to imitate the groove music player for a school project this link below shows my app. Hopefully this give you a better idea of the problem.

My Xaml Code:
<ListView
x:Name="itemGridView"
Grid.Row="1"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource artistsItemsViewSource}}"
SelectionMode="None"
IsSwipeEnabled="false"
IsItemClickEnabled="True"
RequestedTheme="Light">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel MaxWidth="200">
<Ellipse Height="150" Width="150">
<Ellipse.Fill>
<ImageBrush Stretch="Fill" ImageSource="Assets/Artist.png"/>
</Ellipse.Fill>
</Ellipse>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding ArtistName}" FontSize="18" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,5,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding AlbumCount}" FontSize="15" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
<ListView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<ItemsStackPanel Width="200" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="30,0,0,0"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListView.ItemsPanel>
<ListView.GroupStyle>
<GroupStyle>
<GroupStyle.HeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Margin="0,0,0,2">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding AlphaLetter}" FontSize="20" Foreground="{StaticResource SideButtonBlue}" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</GroupStyle.HeaderTemplate>
</GroupStyle>
</ListView.GroupStyle>
</ListView>

I think you can change the view in the listview settings to LargeIcon and then you can set Icons for each value in your listview.
But you could maybe use the ObjectListView its better than the plain ListView and you have more functions. check this out: click
I found something similar on the site of the objectlistview: here

for horizontal placement of the elements in ListView do this:
<ItemsStackPanel
Orientation="Horizontal" />
also, remove Width="200"
also you can use GridView instead of ListView

Stackpanel: Black background on wp8

I have one problem - my stackpanel is vey big and it breaks(background color is changed to black).. What should i do to improve it?
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="#FF2D2D2D" >
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="60"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackPanel x:Name="TitlePanel" Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Row="0">
..
</StackPanel>
<ScrollViewer Name="viewer" Grid.Row="1" >
<StackPanel Name="ContentGrid" Canvas.ZIndex="1" Margin="0, 0,0,80" Background="White" Width="452">
<Image Name="ImageImage" Height="300" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
<TextBlock Name="DateText" TextWrapping="Wrap" TextAlignment="Center" FontSize="18" Foreground="Black"/>
<TextBlock Name="TitleText" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="20" TextAlignment="Center" Foreground="Black" Margin="10,0"/>
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="10,15,10,2" Name="DescroptionText" FontSize="23" Foreground="#FF494949" FontFamily="Portable User Interface"/>
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" TextTrimming="WordEllipsis" Margin="10,0,10,2" Name="DescroptionText2" FontSize="23" Foreground="#FF494949"/>
<ListBox SelectionChanged="GridImages_SelectionChanged" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" Name="GridImages" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource AttachmentsItemTemlate}" Grid.RowSpan="2" FontFamily="Portable User Interface" >
<ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<toolkit:WrapPanel Orientation="Horizontal" FlowDirection="LeftToRight" ItemWidth="150" ItemHeight="150"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
</ListBox>
</StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>

There is a limitation of 2048px in Windows Phone UIElements.
You should try to break your different elements into smaller elements (for example: you could put several stackpanels inside the first one).
In TextBox elements there is a workaround explained here.

Best this is to make the Main Window to white background and Make your stackpanel as transparent background instead of giving any color to it. It works great as I have tested it.

Try this code, but first you need to add windows toolkit library.
xmlns:toolkit="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit"
<toolkit:PhoneTextBox
TextWrapping="Wrap"
Name="txtString"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
MaxHeight="200"
PlaceholderText="Add text"
Padding="5"
Width="370"
FontFamily="Open Sans Light"
FontSize="22"
Height="Auto" ///Use Auto or provide height value
Margin="10"
/>
This code is used for Scrolling as well work for Auto Growing Textbox. If you don't want Auto Growing Textbox then provide height instead of Auto in Height attribute.

Trouble with multiple selection of a list box in wp8

I'm using ListBox to list a group of items and i want the user to select multiple items from the list. I tried it with the following code,
<ListBox x:Name="List" SelectionMode="Multiple" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="559" Margin="14,1,-1,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="443" SelectionChanged="List_SelectionChanged_1">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Width="420" Height="60">
<TextBlock x:Name="tbName" Width="318" Foreground="{Binding color}" Height="35" FontSize="22" Text="{Binding Name}" Margin="-350,13,69,12" />
<Canvas x:Name="ContentPanelCanvas" Grid.Row="1" Background="Transparent" Margin="0,0,12,0">
<Line X1="0" Y1="00" X2="420" Y2="0" Stroke="Gray" StrokeThickness="0.3"/>
</Canvas>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
But still i didn't get a checkbox to select multiple items.
What is the problem?

I think it will be better if you use LongListMultiSelector from Windows Phone Toolkit
You can find code samples here. Also take a look of this question.

Different Object-Types in Grid- or ListView

I'm currently trying to figure out how to show different types of objects in a GridView, look at this Pic for example:
the last element on the right side is different than the other elements, so if i bind an observablecollection to the GridView, how can i say that the last element is shown up in anohter layout.
currently I'm using this XAML-Code
<GridView x:Name="startView" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2" SelectionMode="None" Width="Auto">
<GridView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock x:Name="DetailTitle" Height="74" Text="{Binding Title}" />
<Image x:Name="Image" Height="Auto" Width="Auto" Margin="0" Stretch="None" Source="{Binding LocalCoverUrl}" Visibility="Collapsed" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</GridView.ItemTemplate>
<GridView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<WrapGrid Orientation="Horizontal" MaximumRowsOrColumns="2" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</GridView.ItemsPanel>
</GridView>
and this Code in the Back:
ObservableCollection<Movie> recentlyStarted = await Api.RecentlyStarted(3);
startView.DataContext = recentlyStarted;
but I have currently no clue how to let the last element show up in a different style

The easy way would be to have the two types of object as different classes (e.g. MoviePicStyle + MoviePlainStyle. Then move your DataTemplate out of the GridView, so that each object is picked up by type,
e.g.
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type ViewModel:MoviePicStyle}">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock x:Name="DetailTitle" Height="74" Text="{Binding Title}" />
<Image x:Name="Image" Height="Auto" Width="Auto" Margin="0" Stretch="None" Source="{Binding LocalCoverUrl}" Visibility="Collapsed" />
</StackPanel>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type ViewModel:MoviePlainStyle}">
...Different View...
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<GridView...

Use template selector property of gridview and depending upon the type of object select the template. I did the same in my project. you need to write your own DataTemplateSelector.
