How to customize header in the WPF TileViewControl?
You can customize header of the TileViewItem by using the Header Template. In the following example, the header is customized by setting the image at the left corner and changing the FontWeight of the Header Text. Different colors are set for the HeaderBackground.
MainWindow.xaml
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="Tileviewstyle" TargetType="{x:Type syncfusion:TileViewItem}">
<Setter Property="HeaderBackground" Value="{Binding Color}"></Setter>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<syncfusion:TileViewControl x:Name="Tiles" AllowItemRepositioning="False" ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource Tileviewstyle}" ItemsSource="{Binding TileItems}" >
<syncfusion:TileViewControl.HeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Source="book.png" Stretch="Fill" Width="15" Height="15" Margin="0,0,5,0"/>
<TextBlock FontWeight="Bold" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Header}" Height="30"></TextBlock>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</syncfusion:TileViewControl.HeaderTemplate>
<syncfusion:TileViewControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}" Height="30"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</syncfusion:TileViewControl.ItemTemplate>
</syncfusion:TileViewControl>
</Grid>
MainWindow.xaml.cs
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DataContext = new ViewModel();
}
Model
public class Model
{
public string Color { get; set; }
public string Header { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
}
ViewModel
public class ViewModel
{
public ObservableCollection<Model> TileItems { get; set; }
public ViewModel()
{
TileItems = new ObservableCollection<Model>();
TileItems.Add(new Model() { Header = "Item5", Color = "#FF4DAEB5", Description = "TileViewContent1" });
TileItems.Add(new Model() { Header = "Item2", Color = "#FF36377C", Description = "TileViewContent2" });
TileItems.Add(new Model() { Header = "Item1", Color = "#FF4DEAB4", Description = "TileViewContent3" });
TileItems.Add(new Model() { Header = "Item4", Color = "#F4FADEB5", Description = "TileViewContent4" });
}
