WinUI.TableView

WinUI.TableView is a lightweight and fast data grid control made for WinUI apps. It is easy to use, and capable of handling large number of items with a focus on performance. It's derived from ListView so you will experience fluent look and feel in your project. It comes with all the essential features you need, plus extras like an Excel like column filter, options buttons (for columns and the TableView) and easy data export.

Getting Started

1: Install NuGet package to your project

You can install the WinUI.TableView NuGet package using the NuGet Package Manager or by running the following command in the Package Manager Console:

Install-Package WinUI.TableView

2. Create a New WinUI 3 Project

If you don't already have a WinUI 3 project, create one in Visual Studio.

3. Add WinUI.TableView to Your XAML

In your MainWindow.xaml, add the WinUI.TableView control:

<Window
    x:Class="App1.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:local="using:App1"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    xmlns:tableView="using:WinUI.TableView">

    <Grid>
        <tableView:TableView x:Name="MyTableView"
                             ItemsSource="{x:Bind ViewModel.Items}"
                             AutoGenerateColumns="True" />
    </Grid>
</Window>

4. Bind Data to TableView

In your MainPage.xaml.cs, set up the data context and bind data to the TableView:

public sealed partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainViewModel ViewModel { get; } = new MainViewModel();

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

Create a simple MainViewModel with a collection of items to display:

public class MainViewModel
{
    public ObservableCollection<Item> Items { get; set; }

    public MainViewModel()
    {
        Items = new ObservableCollection<Item>
        {
            new Item { Name = "Item 1", Price = 10.0, Quantity = 1 },
            new Item { Name = "Item 2", Price = 15.0, Quantity = 2 },
            // Add more items here
        };
    }
}

public class Item : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private string _name;
    private double _price;
    private int _quantity;

    public string Name
    {
        get => _name;
        set
        {
            _name = value;
            OnPropertyChanged(nameof(Name));
        }
    }
    public double Price
    {
        get => _price;
        set
        {
            _price = value;
            OnPropertyChanged(nameof(Price));
        }
    }
    public int Quantity
    {
        get => _quantity;
        set
        {
            _quantity = value;
            OnPropertyChanged(nameof(Quantity));
        }
    }

    private void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
    {
        PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
    }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
}

5. Run Your Application

Build and run your application. You should see the TableView populated with the rows and cells from your ViewModel.

Customization

You can customize the appearance and behavior of the TableView by modifying its properties, templates, and styles. For example:

• Column Customization: Define custom columns based on data types.
• Is ReadOnly: You can make any column or the TableView itself read only.
• Sorting and Filtering: Enable sorting and filtering on specific columns or for the all columns.
• TableView Options: Turn on or off options flyout for the TableView based on your requirements.

<tableView:TableView x:Name="MyTableView"
                     ItemsSource="{x:Bind ViewModel.Items}"
                     AutoGenerateColumns="False">
    <tableView:TableView.Columns>
        <tableView:TableViewTextColumn Header="Name" Binding="{Binding Name}" />
        <tableView:TableViewNumberColumn Header="Price" Binding="{Binding Price}" />
        <tableView:TableViewTemplateColumn Header="Quantity">
            <tableView:TableViewTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Quantity}" />
                </DataTemplate>
            </tableView:TableViewTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
            <tableView:TableViewTemplateColumn.EditingTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <NumberBox Value="{Binding Quantity, Mode=TwoWay}" />
                </DataTemplate>
