DataGrid Styles and Templates

  • Article

This topic describes the styles and templates for the DataGrid control. You can modify the default ControlTemplate to give the control a unique appearance. For more information, see Create a template for a control.

DataGrid Parts

The following table lists the named parts for the DataGrid control.

Part Type Description
PART_ColumnHeadersPresenter DataGridColumnHeadersPresenter The row that contains the column headers.

When you create a ControlTemplate for a DataGrid, your template might contain an ItemsPresenter within a ScrollViewer. (The ItemsPresenter displays each item in the DataGrid; the ScrollViewer enables scrolling within the control). If the ItemsPresenter is not the direct child of the ScrollViewer, you must give the ItemsPresenter the name, ItemsPresenter.

The default template for the DataGrid contains a ScrollViewer control. For more information about the parts defined by the ScrollViewer, see ScrollViewer Styles and Templates.
