How add different controls in one column GridView?
I want it to be like this.
Without creating separate gridviews, for other controls.
As far as I see, each row has its own type and the same editor should edit cells in this row. For this scenario, I think it's better to use the Vertical Grid instead of the Grid View.
If you still wish to use the Grid View, use the GridView.CustomRowCellEdit and GridView.CustomRowCellEditForEditing events to assign the required editor to a grid cell.

In WPF, I am trying to create a settings page like the one in Visual Studio (Tools -> Options) (http://i.imgur.com/Be9cTPF.png)
I realize the selection menu is a treeview but I am unsure how to hide/show the controls on the right.
What is the best and proper way of doing this in WPF?
In my opinion the best way to do this is to divide the page into 2 grid columns. In your first column, you can place the treeview. The second column will consist of the data page. You can bind the visibility of this grid column when there is a selection in the tree view using a converter or so or display a default view there.
You can handle the selection changed event of the treeview and bind the selecteditem to a property and as per the selecteditem you can change the view on the second column.
Hope this helps.
I want to display something like the following :-
Each row is about a process (information like PID, Parent etc.). User can check the checkbox and click Launch button to get some dynamic details about that process.
The problem is that CheckedListBox control doesn't allow more than one columns and other controls like ListView (which allow multiple columns) don't allow controls like checkbox to be embedded in a columns.
I want to know if there is a control which will allow me to have a list of custom controls where each custom control contains a checkbox, Some Text and Some Dynamic Text.
How can this be achieved in Windows Forms? Thanks in advance.
You can use either of these options:
DataGridView (Example)
You can use DataGridView to show multiple columns of different types, including TextBox, Label, CheckBox, ComboBox, Image, Button, Link. You also can customize appearance of the grid by custom painting or adding new custom column types.
UserControl
You can create a composite control or UserControl containing any other controls which you need and use it as a row template, then you can show all rows by hosting multiple instance of that user control in a Panel or FlowLayoutPanel.
TableLayoutPanel (Example)
You can use a TableLayoutPanel containing multiple columns and rows. Each cell of TableLayoutPanel can host a control.
DataRepeater
You can use a DataRepeater control to create a row template and show a list of rows using that template.
Example 1 - DatGridView
If you want to use data binding and show specific controls including TextBox, Label, CheckBox, ComboBox, Image, Button, Link a row, DataGridView is great. It's customize-able and you can add some other different column types or customize painting of the grid or benefit from wide range of useful events for validating and so on.
In following image you can see a DataGridView with RowHeaderVisible and ColumnHeaderVisible set to false to act like a List of fields without header:
Example 2 - UserControl
If you need custom control to host more complicated controls or having more control on components or show them in a different layout than columns, you can create a UserControl hosting your components, then:
If you only want top-down flow, Use a Panel and add your user control to it with Dock property of control set to Top.
If you may want flows other than top-down Use a FlowLayoutPanel to add instances of your control to it.
Create a UserControl
Add instances of it to your Panel or FlowLayoutPanel
You could use the TableLayoutPanel container.
I want to know if there is a control which will allow me to have a
list of custom controls where each custom control contains a checkbox,
Some Text and Some Dynamic Text.
One option could be that you create the following as a separate user control,
...and as container control use container like FlowLayoutPanel and keep adding the user control into the FlowLayoutPanel.
Make sure that the direction of FlowLayoutPanel is set TopDown
this.FlowLayoutPanel1.FlowDirection = FlowDirection.TopDown;
If I have a grid view within a listview and this grid view has definitions for 3 columns.
for each cell in the grid is a textbox, if I want to access a specific "cell" in the gridview, how do I go about doing it? I am accessing it from the C# side.
Don't try to manipulate the cells directly; although it is possible, it's difficult and counter-intuitive. You should manipulate the bound objects instead.
I am in need of a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn that displays a multi-column grid drop down, similar to the one described here. Basically, I need to override the DropDown event of the underlying ComboBox. The example at the bottom of this page shows how I can add event handlers. But, I need to override the showing of the drop down. I'm guessing I need to create my own ComboBox class but how do I connect that with a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn? Has anyone done something similar?
This looks like a winner
.NET datagrid is a graphical user interface component that presents a tabular view of data. .NET datagrid supports the following common interface features:
Clicking a column header to implement grid sorting
Dragging column headers to change their size
In-cell editing of shown data
Row and column separators, and alternating row background colors
Datagrid's cells can be presented as some different control types (textbox, button, date/time picker etc.) within datagrid interface layout. However much important control is combobox that could be placed in datagrid...
I ended up finding the following on MSDN that outlines how to create a custom DataGridView column. This includes creating a cell type, a column type, and an Editing control type. I ended up using a ListView control inside a form with no borders as my drop down grid.

I am looking for a way to populate a single grid using data bindings.
The way I do this at the moment is by using an ItemsControl where each item is represented as a Grid with the columns that I need. The main reason I want a single grid is to make the widths of all columns line up.
Is there way for the Grid panel to be used with ItemsControl so that there is a single grid to contain all the items?
Or is there another solution?
Why not just use DataGrid?
You can make grid column widths "line up" across grids by using Grid.IsSharedSizeScope and SharedSizeGroup.
You simply need to set the Grid.IsSharedSizeScope property to true on the element that contains your grids, then set the SharedSizeGroup on the ColumnDefinitions you want to have the same width.
Both of the links above have examples.
Use a ListView with a GridView embedded in the ListView.View property. There are examples of this here and here.
