Prevent user from resizing columns with WPF ListView

Question

hi there,

i wonder how i can prevent a user from resizing GridViewColumns withing a WPF ListView control as google doesn't came up wit a solution.

probably one of the wpf guru's over here ;)

Answer 1

i found a solution and probably it will help someone else someday ;)

you have to override the GridViewColumnHeader's ControlTemplate (default template is here ) and remove the PART_HeaderGripper from the template in order to prevent resizing of your columns.

there is another solution that comes up with subclassing GridViewColumn described here. for representation purposes i prefer xaml only solutions though

I wasn't able to use a full XAML solution, since I was building everything in my code behind due to the dynamics of it. Worked great on the first try.
