Is there anything accessible like ItemsTemplate?

[István]

Hi All!

 

I've created a DataGrid in "regular" WPF that supports groups and the items within a group are shown in a wrappanel. For this I could use the code below:

 

<DataGrid.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
               <WrapPanel IsItemsHost="True"/>
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
</DataGrid.ItemsPanel>

Unfortunately it is way too slow for us. We would like to handle about a 1000 items and we are evaluating Telerik grid for that but I could not find a way to reproduce what I need. Each item should be represented with an image on the left, three lines of text on the right and a progress bar in the background. Grouping, sorting and filtering of items should be available (or at least not too complex to implement), hence the items source is a ListCollectionView. I did this in the original approach with a cell template and this works fine in both the "regular" DataGrid and in Telerik's GridView, but in the Telerik version I can't make the cell items appear next to each other.

 

 

The result should look something like this:

 

Group one:

  Item1 Item2 Item3 Item4

  Item5 Item6

Group two:

  Item7 Item8 Item9 Item10

Group three:

  Item11

 

So my questions:

Is there a way to access the gridview's ItemsPanel to do something similar, or are there any alternativse in the gridview?

 - OR -

Is there a more suitable control for this that can handle this many items and the result can look like the same?

 

Thanks in advance,

Istvan

Hi István,

 There is no such direct property available however you can redefine the grid row (or group row) template with Blend similar to this demo.
