Any suggestion to do that?
Check Windows 8 GridView and Variable-Sized Items and Different Sized Tile Items in WinRT GridView and also check Variable Sized Grid Template

You can create such view of GridView
by setting ItemsPanel
to WrapPanel
, you can get WrapPanel
on Jerry Nixon's blog. Here's the code.
XAML
<GridView x:Name="gv">
<GridView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<local:WrapPanel Orientation="Horizontal" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</GridView.ItemsPanel>
<GridView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Height="140" Width="{Binding MyWidth}">
<Grid.Background>
<SolidColorBrush Color="{Binding MyColor}" />
</Grid.Background>
<TextBlock FontSize="20" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Margin="10,0,0,10">
<Run Text="{Binding MyWidth}" />
</TextBlock>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</GridView.ItemTemplate>
</GridView>
C#
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
var list = new List<ViewModel>()
{
new ViewModel(110, Colors.LawnGreen),
new ViewModel(50, Colors.DarkBlue),
new ViewModel(130, Colors.Firebrick),
new ViewModel(60, Colors.RosyBrown),
new ViewModel(100, Colors.IndianRed),
new ViewModel(210, Colors.BurlyWood),
new ViewModel(150, Colors.Turquoise)
};
gv.ItemsSource = list;
}
public class ViewModel
{
public double MyWidth { get; set; }
public Color MyColor { get; set; }
public ViewModel(double _MyWidth, Color _MyColor)
{
MyWidth = _MyWidth;
MyColor = _MyColor;
}
}
Here is my solution.
//variable sized grid view
public class VariableSizedGridView : GridView
{
protected override void PrepareContainerForItemOverride(Windows.UI.Xaml.DependencyObject element, object item)
{
try
{
dynamic gridItem = item;
var typeItem = item as CommonType;
if (typeItem != null)
{
var heightPecentage = (300.0 / typeItem.WbmImage.PixelHeight);
var itemWidth = typeItem.WbmImage.PixelWidth * heightPecentage;
var columnSpan = Convert.ToInt32(itemWidth / 10.0);
if (gridItem != null)
{
element.SetValue(VariableSizedWrapGrid.ItemWidthProperty, itemWidth);
element.SetValue(VariableSizedWrapGrid.ColumnSpanProperty, columnSpan);
element.SetValue(VariableSizedWrapGrid.RowSpanProperty, 1);
}
}
}
catch
{
element.SetValue(VariableSizedWrapGrid.ItemWidthProperty, 100);
element.SetValue(VariableSizedWrapGrid.ColumnSpanProperty, 1);
element.SetValue(VariableSizedWrapGrid.RowSpanProperty, 1);
}
finally
{
base.PrepareContainerForItemOverride(element, item);
}
}
//Collection View source
<CollectionViewSource x:Name="collectionViewSource"
Source="{Binding ImageList,Mode=TwoWay}"
IsSourceGrouped="False"
ItemsPath="Items" />
//variable sized Grid view xaml
<controls:VariableSizedGridView x:Name="ImageGridView"
AutomationProperties.AutomationId="ImageGridView"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource collectionViewSource}}"
IsItemClickEnabled="True"
TabIndex="1" >
<controls:VariableSizedGridView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Height="300" >
<Image Stretch="Uniform" Source="{Binding WbmImage}" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</controls:VariableSizedGridView.ItemTemplate>
<controls:VariableSizedGridView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<VariableSizedWrapGrid ItemWidth="10" ItemHeight="300" Orientation="Vertical"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</controls:VariableSizedGridView.ItemsPanel>
</controls:VariableSizedGridView>
