How implement a XAML control that is similar with WIN32 listview?

杨岑 171

In traditional WIN32 SDK, we have a ListView control with column headers (like the one we have in file Explorer).

How to implement similar control using XAML? I did some research and GridView seems very promising. The official UWP samples repo on GitHub has a very limited example project which is not very useful in my scenario.

Can anyone direct me to some useful resources?

After some digging, I believe it is not supported to implement something like WIN32 ListView using ListView/GridView; GridView does not have column headeer support - it only can display items in multiple columns which is dynamic based on view width. It seems UWP deliberately keeps far away from the classic controls.

I am planning to use https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/windows/communitytoolkit/controls/datagrid.

Hi @杨岑，

Yes, UWP native control ListView is not the same as win32listview. It is recommended to use Datagrid in UWP.
