is there any way to show the columns of a GridView in different rows?

I have a ListView that is going to show some values of a Google calendar event, the application let you see what events do you have for one specific date, and you can add more, edit, or delete the events.
By the moment, i am showing all the events just for testing, and i am using a gridview for the properties to reorder and the headers, but the event have too much values and is too wide, what i want is split this columns in two rows
Column A, Column B, Column C
info info info
Column D, Column E...
info info
for each element.
Instead of
Column A, B, C...
info info info info
in one row.
is there any way to do this with gridview? or i have to resign myself and do something similar with custom controls or Grids.
My listview
<ListView Background="Transparent"
x:Name="DatosEvento"
Margin="5"
MinWidth="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=Calendar}"
Width="Auto"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Eventos}"
Grid.Row="1"
Grid.Column="1">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Header="Organizador" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Organizer.DisplayName}" />
<GridViewColumn Header="Correo Organizador">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Organizer.Email}" TextDecorations="Underline" Foreground="Blue" Cursor="Hand" />
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn Header="Nombre Evento" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Summary}"/>
<GridViewColumn Header="Estado" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Status}"/>
<GridViewColumn Header="Fecha Fin" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=End.Date}"/>
<GridViewColumn Header="Actualizado el" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Updated.Date}"/>
<GridViewColumn Header="Enlace">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=HtmlLink}" TextDecorations="Underline" Foreground="Blue" Cursor="Hand" />
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>

as i cant mark a comment as the solution, i have change the gridview for a mix of wrap and stackpanels, as #BionicCode suggested (he suggested the wrappanel i just added some stackpanels to do something similar to the gridview)

Selected checkboxes in datagrid C# WPF get copied in other checkboxes

I have this problem with my C# WPF app:
I have the checkboxes on every row but when I select (random) one or more checkboxes I noticed that other checkboxes on other rows (when I scroll to see the other rows) are selected, too. It's like there would be a function or something that checks automatically other checkbox different of those selected by me.
There is no C# code for the checkboxes (just the definitions of the functions for Checked, Unchecked). I use a query and ItemSource to fill the Datagrid.
So, is there a way to avoid the automatic selection of other checkboxes ?
Thankx
My XAML code:
<DataGridTemplateColumn x:Name="colonnaChiusoF" Header="Cf" Width="26">
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Path=sc1, Mode=TwoWay}" Checked="checkedF" Unchecked="uncheckedF" Margin="0" />
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>
Actually it happens with other objects, too. For example, in this code the buttons and checkboxes are selected automatically random if I select/deselect some of them:
<ListView Name="listaView" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Table}" Height="200" Width="400" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" Background="{x:Null}" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" Foreground="{x:Null}">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Header="Idprev" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=idPrev}" />
<GridViewColumn Header="DataPrev" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=dataPrev}" />
<!--<GridViewColumn Header="Test3" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Test3}" /> -->
<GridViewColumn Header="Chiudi">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox Margin="0" BorderThickness="0" />
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn Header="Button">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ToggleButton IsChecked="True">Button Text</ToggleButton>
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
The C# code:
DbDataAdapter da = daoObject.list_3(0, 0, arrayFilter);
DataSet dataset = new DataSet();
da.Fill(dataset);
listaView.DataContext = dataset.Tables[0].DefaultView;

Well, the problem should be the virtualization. If I UNCHECK "Enable row virtualization" it seems the checkboxes remain as I select them so there is no random automatically check-uncheck.
The problem now is that the records are loaded slower than with the virtualization enabled.

Mutually exclusive RadioButtons by row and not by column in GridView

GridView with 5 columns:
- text
- radiobutton
- radiobutton
- radiobutton
- checkbox
The text column is automatically populated through a binding to a List<>.
About the radiobuttons I need they are mutually exclusive by row and not by column; their value is set by user interaction.
If I set the GroupName property like in the following exemple, all the radiobuttons are mutually exclusives both by row and by column.
Could you please advise? Thanks in advance!

If you can modify the object in the list that the ListView is binding to, then you can add a property in that object which uniquely identifies that particular object, just for this purpose. For example:
public class DataObject
{
public void DataObject()
{
Id = Guid.NewGuid();
}
public Guid Id{ get; private set; }
}
Then you can bind your GroupName to this property:
<RadioButton Name="radioToInsert" GroupName="{Binding Id, Mode=OneWay}" />
Because each row represents a different object in your list, so this Id is only shared in the scope of 1 row.

WPF ListViewItem item CheckBox. How to get all selected items?

I have a this code:
<ListView Height="238"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Name="listView1"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Width="503"
ItemsSource="{Binding}"
IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridView.Columns>
<GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox Tag="{Binding ID}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding ID}" Header="ID" />
<GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" Header="Name" />
</GridView.Columns>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
That produce this window:
How do I know how many checkboxes are selected, and get the value Tag of each CheckBox that is selected?

i know it's old but for posterity if people stubble upon this here's the solution
<ListView Height="238"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Name="listView1"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Width="503"
ItemsSource="{Binding}"
IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True"
SelectionChanged="listView1_SelectionChanged">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridView.Columns>
<GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox Tag="{Binding ID}" IsChecked="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ListViewItem}}, Path=IsSelected}" />
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding ID}" Header="ID" />
<GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" Header="Name" />
</GridView.Columns>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
then in the cs file code this in the listView1_SelectionChanged
private List<MyObject> lstMyObject = new List<MyObject>();
private void listView1_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
foreach (MyObject item in e.RemovedItems)
{
lstMyObject.Remove(item);
}
foreach (MyObject item in e.AddedItems)
{
lstMyObject.Add(item);
}
}
lstMyObject should be same type as your object binded to the list. and the code will simply add and remove reference to items of the original list to that list.
Now all you will have to do is loop through that list which will contain only the actually selected items. this works for single selection only except that the lstMyObject will just contain 1 record all the time.

It should be as simple as binding the IsChecked property of the CheckBox to a property on the ViewModel (you may need to add a new property if it doesn't already exist). Then, once the button is clicked, you would just iterate over all the items in the collection, and delete the ones that are checked (based on the value of the property on the ViewModel).

A suggestion...
Just like the Tag property in all Windows controls, I've always had a Tag property in all my data models for general purpose use at run-time. I use that property to hold checked state of the item in a ListView. In other circumstance, I use them to hold complex objects as well.

WPF combobox inside listview

I've got a wpf mvvm application up and running. In one of my views I've got a listbox where one column is a combobox. I thought that I had everything working, but... I ended up here.
When I select a value in the combobox in one row, all rows are changed. I've tried a lot of things and i'm stuck.
Here's my xaml:
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Properties.OutputGroups, Mode=TwoWay}">
<ListView.View>
<GridView >
<GridViewColumn Header="Output" >
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ItemsControl}}, Path=DataContext.Outputs}" SelectedValue="{Binding Path=Obj.OutputID, Mode=TwoWay}" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="False" DisplayMemberPath="DisplayName" SelectedValuePath="ID" />
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn Header="Duration">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Path=Obj.Duration}" BorderThickness="0" />
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn Header="State" >
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Path=Obj.State}" />
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>

I'm not positive about this, so I apologize if this is not correct, but according to what I have read on MSDN here, I think it might have to do with the "isSynchronizedWithCurrentItem" property. Try switching this property to "true," and see if that fixes your problem.
Like I said, I'm not positive this is where the problem is, but it seems to me like you are wanting the data to be synchronized with the current item, hence why that property is throwing up a flag to me.
I really hope this helps! (And I truly apologize if it doesn't)
