So… you’ve got your listview and you want your items to look a certain way. In this post, we’ll look at changing as many things as we can inside the ListView ItemContainerStyle. First things first… getting to the ItemContainerStyle using Blend. With the ListView selected, go to the top menu and click: Edit Other Styles ->…
I apologize for my absence. Between the Christmas holiday and the wedding planning, I’ve been remiss on continuing work on this blog. In fact, it was only today that I noticed I had new comments. I’ll be getting to the questions in the comments in the coming week, but for right now, I want to…
I’ll get back to my listview posts soon, but I really wanted to share this: Here’s something from the guys at Cynergy in which they’ve combined WPF with a Wii-mote hack to implement an on-the-cheap multipoint interface. Pretty cool.
UPDATE: The makers of Snoop have made an installer that makes this post obsolete. Go get it… it’s well updated and worth it. Download the super-simple Snoop files. (Just extract and run.) Snoop is a great tool for debugging WPF applications. It allows one to see the entire tree of the project that one is…

Apparently it only works…
In response to the questions: How do I make it so that, instead of cutting off the text in my column when I shorten it, my text displays ellipsis? and How do I make it so that my text wraps when I shorten my columns? I’ll deal with the first one first and the second…
So you’ve got a listview and you want the columns (not the rows) to look a certain way. (If you are in any way confused, head over here.) In this post, we’re going to build a template for a column and style that template so the data in that column is all styled the same…
When I’m doing the initial design for a project (while the developers are working on silly things like data validation and security), I often find myself in need of data so that I can see my project in action. The developers, of course, have no interest in conjuring up test data at that phase in…
Please feel free to post additional questions in the comments section. I’ll get to them as I can and then link the help here. How do I get grid lines to show up in the ListView? How do I style a specific column in a ListView? How do I make it so that, instead of…
