First, add your ItemsSource as a property of your DataGrid control. įormat your rows in the same way as your columns or use a DataTemplate added as an attribute on the DataGrid control: ĭata can be added with data binding. This will create two columns that can be adjusted by the user.Īlternatively, you can use the AutoGenerateColumns attribute on your DataGrid control if you do not know how many columns your data will require.

Similar to how you would configure columns for a XAML Grid layout, you can add column definitions within your DataGrid control: Change the x:Name to the name of your DataGrid.Īdd columns. This control will create an easily organized grid that will allow you to create flexible columns and rows.īegin by adding the control using the syntax below.

For UWP project, you should use the equivalent packages published by Microsoft ( Microsoft.Toolkit, etc). These package ids are for Uno (non-Windows) projects. For WinUI 3 projects, you should use the equivalent packages published by Microsoft ( CommunityToolkit.WinUI, .Controls etc). These package ids are for Uno Platform (non-Windows) projects. * By Win32 / native Windows application I mean an application which uses the controls available since many Windows versions ago, not the UWP ones. MS wants everyone to go UWP and likely will not spend any money on teaching the old dog new tricks. And I am just guessing here but I do not think Microsoft will make it easy/easier by releasing a new version of Common Controls capable of dark mode, similarly to what they did for themed controls when going from Win98 to WinXP. wxSystemSettings::GetColour() using UISettings::GetColorValue() instead of ::GetSysColor()) would probably not be that useful. The native Win32 controls seem to be unaware of dark mode so adding some winrt support (e.g. UWP "features" are exposed to C++ Win32 applications via winrt API (which wxWidgets AFAIK currently uses only for wxNotificationMessage). Most of wxWidgets controls on MSW are wrappers of their native Win32 equivalents. it had to be done for this single application by hand. Adding dark mode to File Explorer, which is, was not that simple, i.e. does change its color automatically, but other common Apps like Wordpad does not.Ĭalendar is not a Win32 application*.
