WPF ListView column header showing white lines on sides


I'm trying to set a style for my ListView header, and I have a problem: There are some white lines on the sides of the columns and I dont know how to remove them. Image showing the problem.

This is the XAML from my style:

   <Style x:Key="ColumnHeader" TargetType="{x:Type GridViewColumnHeader}">
        <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left"/>
        <Setter Property="Height"  Value="45"  />
        <Setter Property="Background">
            <Setter.Value>
                <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
                    <GradientStop Color="#FF1B405D" Offset="1"/>
                    <GradientStop Color="#FF2F7CA8" Offset="0"/>
                </LinearGradientBrush>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
        <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left"/>
        <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Black"/>
        <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,3,0"/>
    </Style>

And this is the code from my listview:

<ListView Height="520" Margin="0,130,10,0" FontSize="28" 
          FontFamily="/WpfApplication2;component/Resources/#Purista SemiBold" 
          Background="{x:Null}" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" 
          SelectionChanged="ListView_SelectionChanged">
     <ListView.View>
          <GridView ColumnHeaderContainerStyle="{StaticResource ColumnHeader}" AllowsColumnReorder="False" >
               <GridViewColumn Header=" Name" Width="500"/>
               <GridViewColumn Header=" ID" Width="100"/>
               <GridViewColumn Header=" Mode" Width="150"/>
               <GridViewColumn Header=" Version" Width="150"/>
         </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

How can I remove the white lines? I already tried to remove the border by setting the thickness to 0, but the white line is still here.


Solution

  • In your GridViewColumnHeaderStyle change the margin setter to

                    <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,0,0"/>
    

    Add the following code to your GridViewColumnHeaderStyle

                    <Setter Property="Template">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type GridViewColumnHeader}">
                            <Grid SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
                                <Border x:Name="HeaderBorder" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="0,1,0,1" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
                                    <Grid>
                                        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                                            <RowDefinition MaxHeight="7"/>
                                            <RowDefinition/>
                                        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                                        <Rectangle x:Name="UpperHighlight" Fill="#FFE3F7FF" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
                                        <Border Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" Grid.RowSpan="2">
                                            <ContentPresenter x:Name="HeaderContent" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Margin="0,0,0,1" RecognizesAccessKey="True" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
                                        </Border>
                                    </Grid>
                                </Border>
                                <Border x:Name="HeaderHoverBorder" BorderThickness="1,0,1,1" Margin="1,1,0,0"/>
                                <Border x:Name="HeaderPressBorder" BorderThickness="1,1,1,0" Margin="1,0,0,1"/>
                                <Canvas>
                                    <Thumb x:Name="PART_HeaderGripper" Style="{StaticResource GridViewColumnHeaderGripper}"/>
                                </Canvas>
                            </Grid>
                            <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                                <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
                                    <Setter Property="Background" TargetName="HeaderBorder" Value="{StaticResource GridViewColumnHeaderHoverBackground}"/>
                                    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="HeaderHoverBorder" Value="#FF88CBEB"/>
                                    <Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="UpperHighlight" Value="Visible"/>
                                    <Setter Property="Background" TargetName="PART_HeaderGripper" Value="Transparent"/>
                                </Trigger>
                                <Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="true">
                                    <Setter Property="Background" TargetName="HeaderBorder" Value="{StaticResource GridViewColumnHeaderPressBackground}"/>
                                    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="HeaderHoverBorder" Value="#FF95DAF9"/>
                                    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="HeaderPressBorder" Value="#FF7A9EB1"/>
                                    <Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="UpperHighlight" Value="Visible"/>
                                    <Setter Property="Fill" TargetName="UpperHighlight" Value="#FFBCE4F9"/>
                                    <Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="PART_HeaderGripper" Value="Hidden"/>
                                    <Setter Property="Margin" TargetName="HeaderContent" Value="1,1,0,0"/>
                                </Trigger>
                                <Trigger Property="Height" Value="Auto">
                                    <Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="20"/>
                                </Trigger>
                                <Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false">
                                    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.GrayTextBrushKey}}"/>
                                </Trigger>
                            </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                        </ControlTemplate>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
    

    This overrides the template (got this template from Blend).

    Above your style in your Resources, place the following code

            <LinearGradientBrush x:Key="GridViewColumnHeaderBackground" EndPoint="0,1" StartPoint="0,0">
                <GradientStop Color="#FFFFFFFF" Offset="0"/>
                <GradientStop Color="#FFFFFFFF" Offset="0.4091"/>
                <GradientStop Color="#FFF7F8F9" Offset="1"/>
            </LinearGradientBrush>
    
            <!--<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="GridViewColumnHeaderBorderBackground" EndPoint="0,1" StartPoint="0,0">
                <GradientStop Color="#FFF2F2F2" Offset="0"/>
                <GradientStop Color="#FFD5D5D5" Offset="1"/>
            </LinearGradientBrush>-->
    
            <SolidColorBrush x:Key="GridViewColumnHeaderBorderBackground" Color="Transparent"></SolidColorBrush>
    
            <LinearGradientBrush x:Key="GridViewColumnHeaderHoverBackground" EndPoint="0,1" StartPoint="0,0">
                <GradientStop Color="#FFBDEDFF" Offset="0"/>
                <GradientStop Color="#FFB7E7FB" Offset="1"/>
            </LinearGradientBrush>
            <LinearGradientBrush x:Key="GridViewColumnHeaderPressBackground" EndPoint="0,1" StartPoint="0,0">
                <GradientStop Color="#FF8DD6F7" Offset="0"/>
                <GradientStop Color="#FF8AD1F5" Offset="1"/>
            </LinearGradientBrush>
            <Style x:Key="GridViewColumnHeaderGripper" TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
                <Setter Property="Canvas.Right" Value="-9"/>
                <Setter Property="Width" Value="18"/>
                <Setter Property="Height" Value="{Binding ActualHeight, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"/>
                <Setter Property="Padding" Value="0"/>
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource GridViewColumnHeaderBorderBackground}"/>
                <Setter Property="Template">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
                            <Border Background="Transparent" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}">
                                <Rectangle Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="1"/>
                            </Border>
                        </ControlTemplate>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
            </Style>
    

    These are the styles and resources referenced in the preceding template. Notice the commented out GridViewColumnHeaderBorderBackground is replaced with a SolidColorBrush with the Color set to Transparent. This will make the white line go away completely. Change that brush resource to make it whichever color you wish.
