An added invaluable entry right from http://www.designersilverlight.com/2008/01/16/styling-the-listview-column-header/. I have been having fun with your web site for a little bit at this stage and I find that you happen to be certainly really going upwards in the search rankings making me glad.

Another nice tutorial. Would be nice if you posted all the generated XAML, so that people could see how to style a list view this way without using Expression Blend.

Thanks for this Matthias! I’ve been dreading taking on the infamous listview control for styling, and your tutorial has given me a fantatsic start. I noticed in the example you gave when you store the style in the data template, there is no colouring for the “non-column” to the right… I think that actually looks better. How can one remove that colouring so only headings have a background, and the background is transparent for the rest of the header where no headings are present?

Thanks again.

Did you follow the steps so that you have a template for your listview and for your scrollviewer? I double checked in the latest Blend (June 2008 Preview) and it still works.

Make sure you have the GridViewHeaderRowPresenter highlighted in your “Objects and Timeline” view before you go to the Objects menu option.

Hi,

I think you missed couple of steps which is making it more difficult to follow:

I do not get to the following option: Object -> Edit Other Styles -> Edit ColumnHeaderContainerStyle -> Edit a Copy…

I don’t see the ColumnHeaderContainerStyle option.

Great post!
Ok, so now, let’s just wait for that post about sorting rows by clicking on the column header. I’ve been trying to set the MouseLeftButtonDown event to the column headers and catch it, but sofar it has given me a hard time…
