Hello Ristogod,

You can use a Style to achieve that:

<telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding IsActive}" >

<telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn.CellStyle>

<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell">

<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center" />

</Style>

</telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn.CellStyle>

</telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn>

Hope this helps.

Sincerely yours,

Hello LM IT,

You should inherit the base style and override only HorizontalContentAlignment property of the cell, as proposed below:

<telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding Collection}">

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

<telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn>

<telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn.CellStyle>

<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell" BasedOn="{StaticResource GridViewCellStyle}">

<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center" />

</Style>

</telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn.CellStyle>

</telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn>

</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

</telerik:RadGridView>

Hi Vanya,

The linked article from my post describes how to keep a checkbox centered in a column when you enter "edit" mode. The relevant code is this:

checkBox.Margin = new Thickness(4, 0, -3, 0);

However, once I moved to implicit styles, entering edit mode the checkbox began to shift again with that margin applied. I had to modify the amount of margin, and even had to modify it depending on what controls are showing in the header (like the filter when filtering is turned on). This seems fragile to me. I'm wondering if there is a better way. Depending on the situation I am using a -10 or -11 instead of a -3.
