What is The difference between ListBox and ListView

Question

What is the difference between WPF\'s ListBox and ListView? I can not find any significant difference in their properties. Is there different typical use?

Answer 1

Listview derives from listbox control. One most important difference is listview uses the extended selection mode by default . listview also adds a property called view which enables you to customize the view in a richer way than a custom itemspanel. One real life example of listview with gridview is file explorer's details view. Listview with grid view is a less powerful data grid. After the introduction of datagrid control listview lost its importance.
