Answer 1

In your listview, there is a ListView.View property. Put a GridView in there.

A detailed explanation can be found in this blog article.

Hi,
See if it is something like this you are looking for .
By default you want get such an option.You will have to change the templates,so as to suite your requirement.
The above representation doesnt make it clear to me on how you want the data to be.I see only a single level of data.

Could you please make it more clear so that i may be of more help

Thank You

Hi,

  Create a DataTemmpate with Grid inside it. Divide this Grid into 3 coulmns and then for each column put the TextBlocks bind with the concerned input values.

 

 

<Window.Resources>

<DataTemplate x:Key="EmpData">

<Grid Width="300" ShowGridLines="True">

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<ColumnDefinition Width="60"></ColumnDefinition>

<ColumnDefinition Width="100"></ColumnDefinition>

<ColumnDefinition Width="60"></ColumnDefinition>

<ColumnDefinition Width="60"></ColumnDefinition>

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=EmpNo}" Grid.Column="0"></TextBlock>

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=EmpName}" Grid.Column="1"></TextBlock>

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=DeptNo}" Grid.Column="2" TextAlignment="Center"></TextBlock>

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Salary}" Grid.Column="3"></TextBlock>

</Grid>

</DataTemplate>

</Window.Resources>

<Grid Width="300">

<ListView Margin="4,17,20,0" Name="listBox1" Width="300"

ItemsSource="{Binding}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource EmpData}"/>

</Grid>

Answer 6

yes,there is no subitems.
im confused with windows forms controls with WPF.
wpf is quite different with those controls.i think it takes a while for me to be confortable with WPF :)
