Hi All,

I am trying to create a control with number of columns like ListView-GridView. But I need to display data in any of the one columns.

Say I have a ListView of 4 columns. I have a data object which can be displayed in the any of the 4 columns at runtime not like all the columns

How can I achieve it? I started have already customized the style of the ListView but not helping. I am trying to create a control like Gantt Chart. I know there are controls in market and codeplex but I need to do this myself as it request more customization toward my business.

Thanks in Advance

Solution 1

One way could be to build your underlying collection (the one you bind your listview to) in such a way that the data object can then be in whatever column / position you want it to be in.

In this case, your listview need not worry about what needs to be displayed where, it just does the binding. The way you build your collection becomes important.

Thank for your suggestion Abhinav.

I have a data object having start time. Each column has a hour time period. According to the start time in the data object I need to show the data in correct time period. Is there a way that I could Colspan the ListView columns?

Solution 2

I have found the solution. I need to customize the Style of ListViewItem where I can replace the GridViewRowPresenter to ContentPresenter or something which would help to show the row in colspan type.
