Updated on Mar 26, 2026

RadListView provides an API that allows you to customize of appearance of its items.

The following RadListView properties can be used to add Styles, DataTemplates and style/template selectors, thus changing the default appearance:

• ItemTemplate
• ItemTemplateSelector
• ItemStyle
• ItemStyleSelector
• GroupHeaderTemplate
• GroupHeaderTemplateSelector
• GroupHeaderStyle
• GroupHeaderStyleSelector

Example

The following example shows how to define a Style and a DataTemplate, and then assign them to the corresponding RadListView properties.

Example 1: Setting up ItemTemplate and ItemStyle

XAML

<telerikData:RadListView x:Name="listView">
	<telerikData:RadListView.ItemStyle>
		<Style TargetType="telerikListView:RadListViewItem">
			<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,5,0,5"/>
			<Setter Property="Padding" Value="0"/>
			<Setter Property="Background" Value="#EEEEEE"/>
		</Style>
	</telerikData:RadListView.ItemStyle>
	<telerikData:RadListView.ItemTemplate>
		<DataTemplate>
			<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
		</DataTemplate>
	</telerikData:RadListView.ItemTemplate>
</telerikData:RadListView>

Example 2: Populating with data

C#

public MainWindow()
{
	this.InitializeComponent();
	
}
