Freeze Headers in WPF Pivot Grid

15 Jul 20215 minutes to read

The WPF Pivot Grid provides built-in support for freezing column and row headers for better viewing of value cells.

The FreezeHeaders property in the pivot grid control is used to achieve the same. This can be mentioned either in XAML or code-behind.

For XAML, refer to the following code sample.

XAML

<Grid>
        <syncfusion:PivotGridControl HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="pivotGrid" VerticalAlignment="Top" FreezeHeaders="False" ItemSource="{Binding   Source={StaticResource data}}">

            <syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotRows>
                <syncfusion:PivotItem FieldHeader="Product" FieldMappingName="Product" TotalHeader="Total" />
                <syncfusion:PivotItem FieldHeader="Date" FieldMappingName="Date" TotalHeader="Total" />
            </syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotRows>
            <syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotColumns>
                <syncfusion:PivotItem FieldHeader="Country" FieldMappingName="Country" TotalHeader="Total" />
                <syncfusion:PivotItem FieldHeader="State" FieldMappingName="State" TotalHeader="Total" />
            </syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotColumns>
            <syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotCalculations>
                <syncfusion:PivotComputationInfo CalculationName="Total" FieldName="Amount" Format="C" SummaryType="DoubleTotalSum" />
                <syncfusion:PivotComputationInfo CalculationName="Total" FieldName="Quantity" SummaryType="Count" />
            </syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotCalculations>
        </syncfusion:PivotGridControl>
    </Grid>

For code-behind, refer to the following code sample.

C#

public partial class MainWindow: Window {
    PivotGridControl pivotGrid = new PivotGridControl();
    public MainWindow() {
        InitializeComponent();
        grid1.Children.Add(pivotGrid);
        pivotGrid.ItemSource = ProductSales.GetSalesData();
        PivotItem m_PivotItem = new PivotItem() {
            FieldHeader = "Product", FieldMappingName = "Product", TotalHeader = "Total"
        };
        PivotItem m_PivotItem1 = new PivotItem() {
            FieldHeader = "Date", FieldMappingName = "Date", TotalHeader = "Total"
        };
        PivotItem n_PivotItem = new PivotItem() {
            FieldHeader = "Country", FieldMappingName = "Country", TotalHeader = "Total"
        };
        PivotItem n_PivotItem1 = new PivotItem() {
            FieldHeader = "State", FieldMappingName = "State", TotalHeader = "Total"
        };
        // Adding PivotItem to PivotRows
        pivotGrid.PivotRows.Add(m_PivotItem);
        pivotGrid.PivotRows.Add(m_PivotItem1);
        // Adding PivotItem to PivotColumns
        pivotGrid.PivotColumns.Add(n_PivotItem);
        pivotGrid.PivotColumns.Add(n_PivotItem1);
        PivotComputationInfo m_PivotComputationInfo = new PivotComputationInfo() {
            CalculationName = "Amount", FieldName = "Amount", Format = "C", SummaryType = SummaryType.DoubleTotalSum
        };
        PivotComputationInfo m_PivotComputationInfo1 = new PivotComputationInfo() {
            CalculationName = "Quantity", FieldName = "Quantity", SummaryType = SummaryType.Count
        };
        pivotGrid.PivotCalculations.Add(m_PivotComputationInfo);
        pivotGrid.PivotCalculations.Add(m_PivotComputationInfo1);

        pivotGrid.FreezeHeaders = false;
    }
}
