Feature request: Add styles for TreeDataGrid

[sn4k3]

Is it possible to add styles like what DataGrid has but to TreeDataGrid ?

I detailed why this is unlikely to happen here - #320, but generally speaking it's not worth the time and effort to support a control that Avalonia themselves don't support.

Avalonia actually recommends 3rd party implementations of DataGrid at this point over TreeDataGrid, which really says it all.

https://www.eremexcontrols.com/ implementation is what I've seen mentioned and recommended.

Outside of paid solutions, there clearly hasn't been enough of an appetite for it for anyone to build one.

Looks exceptionally good, but too expensive model for an open-source app :)

BTW not related to this but I faced this alignment "problem":

It is by design to have that margin/padding on the message content? Using Suki Dialog...

I made a quick copycat style for treedatagrid :

Just use this style file
TreeDataGridStyles.zip

Moreover, working quickly on TreeDataGrid made me realize how unnecesserily complicated this control is to use for the dev (Styling is easy however). We definitely don't want to support that kind of thing in an extensive way. Fortunately, the SukiUI library isn't really meant for accounting or ERP software.

However, on the opposite side, there isn't an easy solution to display nice Grid data, and maybe it can enter in our scope to write a 'wrapper' for TreeDataGrid with Column auto-generation to present list data nicely automatically. Maybe by using some logic of the PropertyGrid ?

A UI-first oriented grid alternative, something like that :

Auto-generating columns with reflection and using different nice datatemplates for enum, percentage, etc .. Automatically create buttons for commands, etc ..

Just a thought that I had 🧐

Thank you! It now integrates better in the UI :)

For flat data I find it easy, but yeah no bindings and many stuff missing from normal DataGrid is a fuss.
I post my issue with DataGrid here

Your library is one of the best I have seen, I know is a lot of work but if you can pull that out you will earn a lot of costumers!
Also I think TreeDataGrid is still developed, in a slow pace...

Also I found that DataGrid lacks the styles for groups, below I have DNS and Microsoft groups

var groupView = new DataGridCollectionView(_model.Hosts);
groupView.GroupDescriptions.Add(new DataGridPathGroupDescription("Group"));
PingHostsGrid.ItemsSource = groupView;
