Examples

The following example shows how to define GridViewColumn objects for a GridView.


<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource EmployeeData}, 
                                        XPath=Employee}">
  <ListView.View>       
    <GridView>
      <GridViewColumn Header="First Name"
               DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding XPath=FirstName}" />
      <GridViewColumn Header="Last Name"  
               CellTemplate="{StaticResource LastNameCellTemplate}"/>
      <GridViewColumn Header="Favorite City" 
               CellTemplateSelector="{DynamicResource 
                                      FavoriteCityTemplateSelector}"/>
    </GridView>
  </ListView.View>    
</ListView>

Remarks

A GridViewColumn is used by the GridView view mode to display a column of data. The ListView that implements the GridView view mode provides the data for the column. You use data binding to specify the data for the GridViewColumn.

You can use the DisplayMemberBinding to define the data to display in a column. You can also define the data as part of a DataTemplate that is specified by the CellTemplate property. If different cells have different DataTemplate objects, the CellTemplateSelector property can specify a DataTemplateSelector. The following list shows the properties mentioned here, in their order of precedence from highest to lowest:

The GridViewColumn class also contains properties that you can use to define and customize the column header for the column. The Header property can define the content of the column header. Other properties such as HeaderTemplate and HeaderContainerStyle can also specify content and style for the column header. Some of these properties are also found on other classes such as the GridViewColumnHeader class. For more information about the properties that are used to define styles and templates for column headers, and for information about the order of precedence for these properties, see GridView Column Header Styles and Templates Overview.

The GridViewColumn class implements the INotifyPropertyChanged interface. This interface provides the ability to subscribe to the events that occur when a change occurs to a property value, such as the ActualWidth property value.

Constructors

GridViewColumn()

Initializes a new instance of the GridViewColumn class.

Fields

CellTemplateProperty	Identifies the CellTemplate dependency property.
CellTemplateSelectorProperty	Identifies the CellTemplateSelector dependency property.
HeaderContainerStyleProperty	Identifies the HeaderContainerStyle dependency property.
HeaderProperty	Identifies the Header dependency property.
HeaderStringFormatProperty	Identifies the HeaderStringFormat dependency property.
HeaderTemplateProperty	Identifies the HeaderTemplate dependency property.
HeaderTemplateSelectorProperty	Identifies the HeaderTemplateSelector dependency property.
WidthProperty	Identifies the Width dependency property.

Properties

ActualWidth	Gets the actual width of a GridViewColumn.
CellTemplate	Gets or sets the template to use to display the contents of a column cell.
CellTemplateSelector	Gets or sets a DataTemplateSelector that determines the template to use to display cells in a column.
DependencyObjectType	Gets the DependencyObjectType that wraps the CLR type of this instance. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
Dispatcher	Gets the Dispatcher this DispatcherObject is associated with. (Inherited from DispatcherObject)
DisplayMemberBinding	Gets or sets the data item to bind to for this column.
Header	Gets or sets the content of the header of a GridViewColumn.
HeaderContainerStyle	Gets or sets the style to use for the header of the GridViewColumn.
HeaderStringFormat	Gets or sets a composite string that specifies how to format the Header property if it is displayed as a string.
HeaderTemplate	Gets or sets the template to use to display the content of the column header.
HeaderTemplateSelector	Gets or sets the DataTemplateSelector that provides logic to select the template to use to display the column header.
IsSealed	Gets a value that indicates whether this instance is currently sealed (read-only). (Inherited from DependencyObject)
Width	Gets or sets the width of the column.

Methods

CheckAccess()	Determines whether the calling thread has access to this DispatcherObject. (Inherited from DispatcherObject)
ClearValue(DependencyProperty)	Clears the local value of a property. The property to be cleared is specified by a DependencyProperty identifier. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
ClearValue(DependencyPropertyKey)	Clears the local value of a read-only property. The property to be cleared is specified by a DependencyPropertyKey. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
CoerceValue(DependencyProperty)	Coerces the value of the specified dependency property. This is accomplished by invoking any CoerceValueCallback function specified in property metadata for the dependency property as it exists on the calling DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
Equals(Object)	Determines whether a provided DependencyObject is equivalent to the current DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
GetHashCode()	Gets a hash code for this DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
GetLocalValueEnumerator()	Creates a specialized enumerator for determining which dependency properties have locally set values on this DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
GetValue(DependencyProperty)	Returns the current effective value of a dependency property on this instance of a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
InvalidateProperty(DependencyProperty)	Re-evaluates the effective value for the specified dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
OnHeaderStringFormatChanged(String, String)	Occurs when the HeaderStringFormat property changes.
OnPropertyChanged(DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs)	Invoked whenever the effective value of any dependency property on this DependencyObject has been updated. The specific dependency property that changed is reported in the event data. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
OnPropertyChanged(PropertyChangedEventArgs)	Raises the INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged event.
ReadLocalValue(DependencyProperty)	Returns the local value of a dependency property, if it exists. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
SetCurrentValue(DependencyProperty, Object)	Sets the value of a dependency property without changing its value source. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
SetValue(DependencyProperty, Object)	Sets the local value of a dependency property, specified by its dependency property identifier. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
SetValue(DependencyPropertyKey, Object)	Sets the local value of a read-only dependency property, specified by the DependencyPropertyKey identifier of the dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
ShouldSerializeProperty(DependencyProperty)	Returns a value that indicates whether serialization processes should serialize the value for the provided dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
ToString()	Creates a string representation of the GridViewColumn.
VerifyAccess()	Enforces that the calling thread has access to this DispatcherObject. (Inherited from DispatcherObject)

Explicit Interface Implementations
