WPF ListView Styling

Question

I've only started using the WPF ListView now and I have a few questions:

Is there a way for me to apply a style where every second row is a bit darker, just for readability?
What is the ListView equivelant for Width="*"?
Where can I find a decent looking style?

Thanx

Any idea how I can add vertical grid lines after each column using a style? – Chrisjan Lodewyks Jan 22 '13 at 09:59
You could use the GridLinesVisibility property: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.datagrid.gridlinesvisibility%28v=vs.95%29.aspx – bitbonk Jan 22 '13 at 10:14
There is no such property on ListView or GridViewColumn. – Chrisjan Lodewyks Jan 22 '13 at 10:19
Oops, my fault, you could either start using the DataGrid instead of the ListView or do it like this: http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/tomershamam/archive/2007/12/16/wpf-listview-vertical-lines-horizontal-as-bonus.aspx – bitbonk Jan 22 '13 at 12:45

1- Check out the AlternationCount property on the ListView. It allows alternate rows to be styled differently.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.itemscontrol.alternationcount.aspx

It seems someone has answered a similiar question here: wpf datagrid alternate row coloring

2- If your looking to size the ListBox to the container try looking at some of the layout containers like at CodeProject. Specifically the DockPanel.

3- Where can I find free WPF controls and control templates?

A few seconds of googling will give you results likeWPF ListView

and WPF Listview customize

and with your second question

"*" means stretch to fill the available space, and is a fraction, so if one row is * and the other row is 2* then the second row will be twice the size of the first row.

Hope it helps
