Cell content spacing

[Danijel]

Hi,

how can I specificy content margin in respect to cell borders (regardless of column type)?  i.e. padding from Cell's POV.

Hi Danijel,

You can edit the CellContentStyle of the column, then either change the Padding or Margin. As an example, here's a DataGridTextColumn's style:

<grid:DataGridTextColumn  >
    <grid:DataGridTextColumn.CellContentStyle>
        <Style TargetType="TextBlock">
            <Setter Property="Padding" Value="2,2,2,2"/>
            <Setter Property="Margin" Value="2,2,2,2" />
        </Style>
    </grid:DataGridTextColumn.CellContentStyle>
</grid:DataGridTextColumn>

If you also want to apply such a padding when the cell is being edited, you can update the CellEditorStyle as well.

<grid:DataGridTextColumn.CellEditorStyle>
    <Style TargetType="TextBox">
        <Setter Property="Padding" Value="2,2,2,2" />
        <Setter Property="Margin" Value="2,2,2,2" />
    </Style>
</grid:DataGridTextColumn.CellEditorStyle>

To see all of the Column types and what their target types are, go to this page in the documentation.
