Question

What I want is to have a table having a first column with every row named by me one by one, not binding to some property. But all of the second column should be binded to a property. I cannot do these two with gridview since it only makes binding and does not let me to write something manually. On the other hand, I havent seen any flowdocument table tutorial in which someone mention binding. So what is the proper object suitable to fulfill mentioned two things?

Answer 1

ListView and GridView should meet your requirements. You have the ability to set bindings on the GridViewColumns by using DisplayMemberPath or in the CellTemplate. You can also choose not to use bindings in a column.

Take this for example:

<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding NameValuePairs}">
    <ListView.Resources>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="FirstCellTemplate">
            <Grid Width="100">
                <TextBox Width="75"/>
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListView.Resources>
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <GridViewColumn CellTemplate="{StaticResource FirstCellTemplate}"/>
            <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"/>
            <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Value}"/>
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
 </ListView>

NameValuePairs is an ObservableCollection<NameValuePair> and NameValuePair is a view model with a Name and Value properties. The first column is contains a TextBox on each row, the second is a TextBlock with the Name, and the third is a TextBlock with the Value.
