[Solved] Several items per row

[Elena Kosinska]

Is it possible to place several items per row in GridView?
Smth like this structure:
[Name, Address]  [Name, Address]
[Name, Address]  [Name, Address]
[Name, Address]

where [Name, Address] - is one item with custom row layout so GridView looks like CardView.

Thanks,
Elena.

Hello Elena Kosinska,

You can define a CellTemplate for your Column and put several textblocks there if you want.
Alternatively, you can check the Custom Row Style demo.

I've used a custom row style, but it doesn't suit. I need cards placed side-by-side (2 or more columns).
So now it looks like this and I need smth like this.
Is it possible to implement with Telerik GridView features?

Thanks.

Hi Elena Kosinska,

This seems more like a listview control, which we currently do not have for Silverlight. It is in our plans, but I cannot tell when we can start.

Do you expect that grid to have a working sort/filter/group mechanism?
If you do not need those, you can experiment with the ListBox and its ItemsPanelTemplate.

Find attached a sample application.

Thanks, Veselin.
We considered a listbox with a custom items panel as an alternative decision, but we really need sorting and filtering, so GridView is a best choice for us at this moment.

Hi Elena Kosinska,

Then a nice listview control would be appropriate. I have added this as a feature request in our public issue tracking system and you can vote for it here.
