Which control to build a Hex-Editor?

I want to create a Hex-Editor using XAML/WPF and C#, but I need somesort of Table-Control to display the File-Content. It should have a Textbox in each Column to view Address, view and edit Hex-Values and ASCII-Values.

Later I want to add additional Columns, like Unicode or something. The User should be able to view/hide Columns.

What Controls do I need to do that?

I thought of a ListView, with a GridView to define the Columns and a TextBox in each Column. But ListView is more of a Multi-Row Control. Can you give me a hint on which Control I sould use?

You can check my project. Wpf hexeditor. I think it can be help you :)

You can use it very easily in Wpf or WinForm application. Download the code and test the Wpf (C#, VB.NET) and WinForm (C#) samples.

https://github.com/abbaye/WPFHexEditorControl

<!-- XAML -->
<Control:HexaEditor/>
<Control:HexaEditor Width="NaN" Height="NaN"/>
<Control:HexaEditor Width="Auto" Height="Auto"/>
<Control:HexaEditor FileName={Binding FileNamePath} Width="Auto" Height="Auto"/>

EDIT: I'd agree with that comment though, if the existing Be.HexEditor control meets your needs, that would be the best option.

Otherwise, I might recommend the DataGrid for that sort of tabular viewing and entry. If you search google there are lots of examples and tutorials (like this one).
