ListView with a Header, any way to freeze it?

Question

I am using ListView to simulate a grid, I added a header to describe the "columns". It's fine, but when there are many items in a ListView, Header scrolls away. Is there another way than to place the Grid that implements the Header outside the ListView? I modified the original SplitApp project to be sure something from my code is interfering. It behaves the same. Thanks. 

Answer 1

Hm, I probably misunderstood. It's a header (and footer) of the items and not the control itself, so placing my "header" outside is the correct way... 

Answer 2

Hi Ivan,

Yes, place a header outside is a good option, there is no exist API for freezing a header. 

Another idea is you could create a user control which contains a Header and a ListView, by this way scrolling the ListView will not effect the Header Line.

Hi James,

  Thanks for the info. I thought it would be so. I come from WPF development and I already learnt that sometimes things with the same name do not do the same things in WinRT as they do in WPF.
