Thank you thank you thank you, I totally forgot about ItemContainerStyle today as they’ve buried the edit Styles in Blend. This is exactly what I needed, finally have my crazy listbox working.

I had the same issue as Gary… it seems that blend will use a content presenter instad of a gridviewrowpresenter when you initiate the template/style…as a result, replacing the content presenter with the grid view row presenter works quite nicely!

I’ve followed the article through several times now, step by step and I simply cannot reproduced the list view item control template using your steps above. The only way I can access the correct control template is by right-clicking on a ListViewItem (the object, not the style) in the ‘Objects and TimeLine’ box and selecting ‘Edit Control Parts (Template)’ -> ‘Edit a Copy…’.

Looks like I’ve figured it out (bearing in mind I’m using Blend 2 February 2008 Beta so it could be a bug)…

When I create the ControlTemplate for the ListViewItems Blend adds a ContentPresenter instead of a GridViewRowPresenter. Interestingly it also gives the template a default name of ‘ListBoxItemControlTemplate1′.

When I apply the ControlTemplate to my ListView the ContentPresenter doesn’t display the underlying ‘DisplayMemberBinding’ defined on my GridViewColumns (I have my ContentPresenter set as ‘Content=”{TemplateBinding Content}”‘)- any idea how I can get the correct bindings to be displayed?

That is really wierd, I don't think I've seen anything like that before. If you can, post your XAML up on the MSDN WPF Forum and point me to your post and I'll take a look at it.

When I do the edit control template for the listview, the items no longer are under their respective columns. I am doing this on XP so it may be a side effect of that. Is there some property that needs to be set in order for the data to realign with the columns? Just to be clear, the rows are still there it is just that the data in each row is all left aligned so the data looks like this: column1datacolumn2datacolumn3data. Any ideas?
