How can I hide the header of a WPF ListView?

Question

I want to be able to hide the header at the top of each grid column in a WPF ListView.

This is the XAML for my ListView:

Answer 1

Define a Style like so

<Window.Resources>
    ....
    <Style x:Key="myHeaderStyle" TargetType="{x:Type GridViewColumnHeader}">
        <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed" />
    </Style>
</Window.Resources>

Apply it like so

<GridView ColumnHeaderContainerStyle="{StaticResource myHeaderStyle}">
    ....
</GridView>

Another way you can apply Ray's solution is like this:

<ListView>
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <GridView.ColumnHeaderContainerStyle>
                <Style TargetType="GridViewColumnHeader">
                    <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed" />
                </Style>
            </GridView.ColumnHeaderContainerStyle>
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

The solution sets the style property directly rather than creating a resource that is automatically applied. Not saying it's better, just another way...

Thanks for this solution. You can also put the Style inline like so:

<ListView>
    <ListView.Resources>
        <Style TargetType="GridViewColumnHeader">
            <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed" />
        </Style>
    </ListView.Resources>
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <!-- ... -->
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

(Also, the {x:Type} notation you used doesn't seem to be needed)
