Examples

Here, a GroupStyle is applied to a GridView control that contains grouped data. For more info, and to see the full example code, see How to group items in a list or grid.

<GridView ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvsProjects}}" 
  Margin="0,120,0,0" MaxHeight="500" Grid.Column="1">
    <GridView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <StackPanel Margin="20">
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" FontWeight="Bold" 
                           Style="{StaticResource BaseTextBlockStyle}"/>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding DueDate}" TextWrapping="NoWrap" 
                           Style="{StaticResource BodyTextBlockStyle}" />
                <CheckBox Content="Complete" IsChecked="{Binding Complete}" 
                          IsEnabled="False"/>
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </GridView.ItemTemplate>
    <GridView.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <ItemsWrapGrid MaximumRowsOrColumns="3"/>
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </GridView.ItemsPanel>

    <GridView.GroupStyle>
        <GroupStyle HidesIfEmpty="True">
            <GroupStyle.HeaderTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <Grid Background="LightGray" Margin="0">
                        <TextBlock Text='{Binding Name}' 
                                   Foreground="Black" Margin="30"
                                   Style="{StaticResource HeaderTextBlockStyle}"/>
                    </Grid>
                </DataTemplate>
            </GroupStyle.HeaderTemplate>

        </GroupStyle>
    </GridView.GroupStyle>
</GridView>
