Is it possible to change the row layout in a xamGrid.
What I want to achieve:
Having a grid with 3 columns from which the first one is very large.
So I want to display the information on 2 lines but still having the columnheaders which still can be used for sorting/grouping/filtering/...
I sketced a sample below:
Header Col1 | Header Col2 | Header Col3
Description: Value Col1
Description: Value Col2 Description: Value Col3
If this isn't possible with a xamGrid, is there another way to achieve this kind of functionality?
HI,
I am attaching a sample XamGrid application for your review.

Hi Matt,
It is already a first good approach.
The problem is that the content is displayed in only one column. The general idea was to display the content over all the columns (like a column span).
Is this possible?
Kind regards,
Erik
I have a new sample for you.
I added style targeting the CellControl, setting border brush to transparent.
I made all the columns templated columns.

This doesn't change a lot. It still shows the content in one column.
I have added a screenshot of what I mean (created with paint).

HI ,
Please let me know if you need further assistance regarding this case.
Hi sidhume,
I will create a private case and submit a product idea for this issue.

we also have thought in that direction.
The layout of the templated column is wat we want, but as the first and only row. And with the headers of each used column available in the grid.
But the preceding row is repeating the data and that we don't want. You can use a style to make the CellControl collapsed, but then it shows as an empty line. If you omit the other columns (Textcolumns), you lose the headers (and so the functionality of sorting/grouping/filtering.
Also it must be possible that the user doesn't have to open or close the section by clicking on the arrow. It should always be visible without the possiblity to collaps the row.
You might consider using the Template Column Layout.

It is a nice sample. But we don't want to make use of 3 buttons in 1 column header.
We want to make use of 3 columns so we still have full functionality of the grid. This means sorting, grouping, filtering, ... on all of the columns visible in the grid.
