wpf - ListView GridView Handle ColumnsReorder

Question

How to handle/persists columns reorder? Don't need to change it. Need to persist it so when the user brings up the GridView again can present the columns in order they last defined.

 <ListView>
        <ListView.View>
            <GridView AllowsColumnReorder="True" >

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you are not going to find a StoreColumnOrder="True" setting. You will have to code this up yourself. And to persist you have to store the order somewhere on disk, like a settings file.

Create a new object that inherits from your GridView (or you could create a UserControl as well) that adds one function to the onloaded event and one function to the onclose event. The onloaded function would look for a settings file and if it was there, reorder the columns. The onclose function createst the settings file if reordering has occurred.
