How can I create a group footer in a WPF ListView ( GridView )

Question

I have a ListView that displays sales orders, and groups them by status. In WinForms I had a footer at the bottom of each group that displayed the Total sale price for each

If your looking for something like this:

Then you can use the Template property of the ContainerStyle for the GroupStyle. In this example I use a DockPanel, with the Grid you supplied Docked on the bottom and an ItemsPresenter filling the remainder. In addition in order to get the Items totaled you'd have to use a Converter, which is supplied at the bottom.
