wpf listview drag select multiple items with cltrl+left mouse over and selection mode is extended

Question

My requirement is : I have a list view in wpf user control and selection mode is extended. User can selects different ways those are: 1. with shift key 2. with ctrl key 3. with ctrl+left mouse button and drag select.

First and second scenario is working for me. How to achieve the 3 scenario.

I have gone through last answer which is in the below link. But it did not worked for me.

Here is my listview:

<ListView BorderThickness="0,0,0,1"                   
              Name="WheeledYardLocation"
              ItemsSource="{Binding lstUser}"
              SelectionMode="Extended"
              HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
              AutomationProperties.Name="WheeledListView"
              AutomationProperties.AutomationId="WheeledListView"
              SelectedIndex="0"
              AlternationCount="2">
        <ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
            <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">                   
                <Setter Property="Template">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
                            <Border Name="root"
                                    Background="Transparent"
                                    BorderThickness="0,0,0,1"

            </Style>
        </ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
    </ListView>

That's going to take lots of codebehind, as it isn't a standard UI pattern. — , Dec 11 '15 at 13:54
Nope, it's a bit much to achieve, and it's a non-standard UI pattern, which means it's pretty much a waste of time. If you want to do it, start very small. Create a tiny little prototype and start playing with it. You'll have to track key state and mouse down all the time, intercepting drag events, preventing UI elements from getting clicked on, etc etc etc. A complete waste of time. — , Dec 14 '15 at 14:00
