Grouping GridView items Like Start Menu second stye

Question

I 'm trying to group the list view items like when pressing the down arrow in start menu , i have followed this tutorial :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh780627.aspx
and it worked fine with me, however i'm trying to make the group label in the same column or by other meanings i could have 2 group labels or more in the same column like in the start menu.

i could not figure out what property in xaml achieves this .

this is what i mean:

as you can see label "C" and "D" are clearly in the same column or in other words a new group is not generally in a new column. 

Answer 1

That is not directly supported by the Windows.UI.Xamll GridView. There is no simple property.

You would probably need to write your own ItemsPanel to lay out the groups that way.

You can see Mike Taulty's blog about this:

If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined objects and unknown namespaces.
