Add Items to Columns in a WPF ListView
c#, listview, visual-studio, wpf, xaml
Solution
Solution With Less XAML and More C#
If you define the `ListView` in XAML:
<ListView x:Name="listView"/>
Then you can add columns and populate it in C#:
public Window()
{
// Initialize
this.InitializeComponent();
// Add columns
var gridView = new GridView();
this.listView.View = gridView;
gridView.Columns.Add(new GridViewColumn {
Header = "Id", DisplayMemberBinding = new Binding("Id") });
gridView.Columns.Add(new GridViewColumn {
Header = "Name", DisplayMemberBinding = new Binding("Name") });
// Populate list
this.listView.Items.Add(new MyItem { Id = 1, Name = "David" });
}
See definition of `MyItem` below.
Solution With More XAML and less C#
However, it's easier to define the columns in XAML (inside the `ListView` definition):
<ListView x:Name="listView">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Header="Id" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Id}"/>
<GridViewColumn Header="Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"/>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
And then just populate the list in C#:
public Window()
{
// Initialize
this.InitializeComponent();
// Populate list
this.listView.Items.Add(new MyItem { Id = 1, Name = "David" });
}
See definition of `MyItem` below.
`MyItem` Definition
`MyItem` is defined like this:
public class MyItem
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
Problem
I've been struggling for a while now to add items to 2 columns in a `ListView`. In my Windows Forms application I had a something like this: ``` // In my class library: public void AddItems(ListView listView) { var item = new ListViewItem {Text = "Some Text for Column 1"}; item.SubItems.Add("Some Text for Column 2"); listView.Items.Add(item); } ``` I would then call this class from my `Form.cs`. How can I do this in WPF? Preferably, I wouldn't like to use a lot of XAML.
