Hi all,

We have resolved this behavior by implementing a new control, CollectionView, which is a complete rewrite of the ListView from the ground up. CollectionView offers improved performance, enhanced features, and a modernized approach to managing lists of data. The CollectionView incorporates all key features of the ListView.

As this new control supersedes the ListView, this feature request will be closed. We recommend transitioning to CollectionView to take full advantage of its capabilities. Visit the following article that explains how to migrate to the new RadCollectionView.

The CollectionView Empty Template is described here: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/maui/controls/collectionview/empty-template

Hi Jason,

The ListView does not have an empty template, this is why we have this feature request logged.

However there is an easy way to achieve an empty template:

- When your items source is empty, show the label.
- When the collection is not empty, hide the label.

<Grid>
    <Label IsVisible="{Binding IsListEmpty}" />
  
    <telerikDataControls:RadListView ItemsSource="{Binding MyItems}"/>
</Grid>

There are many ways to check if the list is empty, 

1. Subscribe to ListView.PropertyChnaged and if e.PropertyName == "ItemsSource" then implement a custom logic to display the label. 

2. another option is to use the CollectionChanged event. Here's an example:

public class ViewModel : NotifyPropertyChangedBase
{
    private bool isListEmpty;
 
    public ViewModel()
    {
        MyItems.CollectionChanged += MyItems_CollectionChanged;
    }
 
    private void MyItems_CollectionChanged(object sender, System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        IsListEmpty = MyItems.Count == 0;
    }
 
    public ObservableCollection<string> MyItems { get; set; } = new ObservableCollection<string>();
 
    public bool IsListEmpty
    {
        get => isListEmpty;
        set
        {
            if (isListEmpty == value)
                return;
 
            isListEmpty = value;
            OnPropertyChanged();
        }
    }
}
