Using another panel to display items in GridView

[Patrick]

Hello,
I'm looking for a solution to display images and would like to use the GridView headers for sorting, filtering and grouping the images, but need to display them in a VirtualizingWrapPanel.
Is there any possibility to use the GridView for this?

Hi Patrick ,

RadGridView has its own virtualizing panel which can not be swapped with VirtualizingWrapPanel without severely damaging the integrity and the behavior of the control.

Hi Pavel,
thank you for your answer.
Is it possible to display just the headers of the GridView, without its content?
That could be solution with positioning a ListBox with a VirtualizingWrapPanel just below it.

Hello Patrick ,

You can use the technique described in this blog post . Of course some of the features of RadGridView - column resizing , freezing etc would be lost.

Thank you Pavel,
that was the kind of thing I was looking for.
It would just be much easier if we could just change the panel, without messing with the template.
Perhaps you can add this as a feature request.
