1 min read

You can show header for SfTreeView in Xamarin.Forms by customizing the parent grid with label and SfTreeView.

XAML

Define Grid with Label as header for TreeView in first row and TreeView in second row.

<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TreeViewXamarin"
             xmlns:syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.XForms.TreeView;assembly=Syncfusion.SfTreeView.XForms"
             x:Class="TreeViewXamarin.MainPage">
 
    <ContentPage.BindingContext>
        <local:FileManagerViewModel x:Name="viewModel"/>
    </ContentPage.BindingContext>
 
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="40"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Grid>
            <Label Margin="5" TextColor="Teal" FontAttributes="Bold" FontSize="Medium" HorizontalTextAlignment="Start" 
                   VerticalTextAlignment="Center">
                <Label.FormattedText>
                    <FormattedString>
                        <Span Text="Nodes Count: " TextColor="DarkOrange" />
                        <Span Text="{Binding NodeCount}" TextColor="Green"/>
                    </FormattedString>
                </Label.FormattedText>
            </Label>
        </Grid>
        <syncfusion:SfTreeView x:Name="treeView" ItemHeight="40" Grid.Row="1" Indentation="15" ExpanderWidth="40"
                              ChildPropertyName="SubFiles" ItemsSource="{Binding ImageNodeInfo}" AutoExpandMode="AllNodesExpanded">
                             
            <syncfusion:SfTreeView.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    …
                </DataTemplate>
            </syncfusion:SfTreeView.ItemTemplate>
        </syncfusion:SfTreeView>
    </Grid>
</ContentPage>

C#

In ViewModel, header label is updated with node count.

namespace TreeViewXamarin
{
    public class FileManagerViewModel
    {
        public FileManagerViewModel()
        {
          ...
        }
        public int NodeCount
        {
            get => ImageNodeInfo.Count();
        }
        ...
    }
}
