Remarks
The ListView displays lists of data and allows the user to scroll through the data. Items in the can be activated firing an event (with the ENTER key or a mouse double-click). If the AllowsMarking property is true, elements of the list can be marked by the user.
By default ListView uses ToString() to render the items of any IList object (e.g. arrays, List<T>, and other collections). Alternatively, an object that implements IListDataSource can be provided giving full control of what is rendered.
ListView can display any object that implements the IList interface. string values are converted into string values before rendering, and other values are converted into string by calling ToString() and then converting to string .
To change the contents of the ListView, set the Source property (when providing custom rendering via IListDataSource) or call SetSource(IList) an IList is being used.
When AllowsMarking is set to true the rendering will prefix the rendered items with [x] or [ ] and bind the SPACE key to toggle the selection. To implement a different marking style set AllowsMarking to false and implement custom rendering.
Searching the ListView with the keyboard is supported. Users type the first characters of an item, and the first item that starts with what the user types will be selected.
Constructors
