Want to create a listview by Extending the The listview control. I have to create a unique style for my custom listview. The problem I am facing is
when am putting a gridview to arrange the data, the style that i applied will loss and it wil look like the ordinary listview.

Here i am displaying some of the sample that i tried.

In the Xaml file where i designed my listview


<Style TargetType="{x:Type local:GOGWPFAdvancedListView}">
     <Setter Property="Template">
         <Setter.Value>
             <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type local:GOGWPFAdvancedListView}">
                 <Border removed="LightBlue"
                         BorderBrush="Blue"
                         BorderThickness="10">
                 </Border>
             </ControlTemplate>
         </Setter.Value>
     </Setter>
 </Style>

I Extended a class for my listview

public class GOGWPFAdvancedListView : System.Windows.Controls.ListView
{
static GOGWPFAdvancedListView()
{
DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(GOGWPFAdvancedListView), new System.Windows.FrameworkPropertyMetadata(typeof(GOGWPFAdvancedListView)));

}
}

In my Consuming Page

xmlns:Advanced="clr-namespace:GOGWPFAdvancedListView;assembly=GOGWPFAdvancedListView"


when i put only the new control its style is visible
<advanced:gogwpfadvancedlistview name="lvMainlist" >
</advanced:gogwpfadvancedlistview>



But when i put a gridview to the listview it wil look like the ordinary listview

<advanced:gogwpfadvancedlistview name="lvMainlist" >
           <advanced:gogwpfadvancedlistview.view>
                <gridview>
                    <gridviewcolumn header="Name" width="100" displaymemberbinding="{Binding Name}" />
                    <gridviewcolumn header="Place" width="100" displaymemberbinding="{Binding Place}" />
                    <gridviewcolumn header="Country" width="100" displaymemberbinding="{Binding Country}" />
                    <gridviewcolumn header="State" width="100" displaymemberbinding="{Binding State}" />
                    <gridviewcolumn header="Age" width="100" displaymemberbinding="{Binding Age}" />
                    <gridviewcolumn header="C/O" width="100" displaymemberbinding="{Binding CO}" />
                    <gridviewcolumn header="JOB" width="100" displaymemberbinding="{Binding JOB}" />
                </gridview>
            </advanced:gogwpfadvancedlistview.view>
        </advanced:gogwpfadvancedlistview>



Any suggestions???

What do you mean exactly when you say "But when i put a gridview to the listview it wil look like the ordinary listview"? That the Blue border style you applied isn't showing anymore? I can't seem to reproduce it.

After a quick look I think you are missing a TemplateBinding, when you set the Content of your ListView it should set it to the Content of your border in the ControlTemplate, shouldn't it?
