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:

<Windowx: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:TableViewx: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:

publicsealedpartialclassMainWindow:Window{publicMainViewModelViewModel{get;}=newMainViewModel();publicMainWindow(){this.InitializeComponent();}}

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

publicclassMainViewModel{publicObservableCollection<Item>Items{get;set;}publicMainViewModel(){Items=newObservableCollection<Item>{newItem{Name="Item 1",Price=10.0,Quantity=1},newItem{Name="Item 2",Price=15.0,Quantity=2},// Add more items here};}}publicclassItem:INotifyPropertyChanged{privatestring_name;privatedouble_price;privateint_quantity;publicstringName{get=>_name;set{_name=value;OnPropertyChanged(nameof(Name));}}publicdoublePrice{get=>_price;set{_price=value;OnPropertyChanged(nameof(Price));}}publicintQuantity{get=>_quantity;set{_quantity=value;OnPropertyChanged(nameof(Quantity));}}privatevoidOnPropertyChanged(stringpropertyName){PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this,newPropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));}publiceventPropertyChangedEventHandlerPropertyChanged;}

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.
