Hello Dan,

I have tested the case and both properties work as expected on my side. Please take a look at the sample and let me know in case of any misunderstanding.

Kind regards,

Ok, I found out what was going on. My default TextBlock style seems to over ride the Gridview column settings.

I have a Styles.xaml I call with the following in it:

<Style TargetType="TextBlock">

<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource BodyTextColorBrush}"/>

<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="14"/>

<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Segoe UI" />

<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left"/>

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

</Style>

Removing this from my style sheet makes HeaderTextAlignment="Right" and TextAlignment="Right" work. Is there a way around this?

Hi Dan,

You may define the Style you want to be applied for the particular RadGridView in its scope. For example:

<UserControl.Resources>

<Style TargetType="TextBlock">

<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="10"/>

<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Georgia" />

<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left"/>

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

</Style>

</UserControl.Resources>

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot"

Background="White"

DataContext="{StaticResource MyViewModel}">

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

<RowDefinition Height="*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<telerik:RadGridView Grid.Row="0"

Name="clubsGrid"

ItemsSource="{Binding Clubs}"

AutoGenerateColumns="False"

Margin="5">

<telerik:RadGridView.Resources>

<Style TargetType="TextBlock">

<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="14"/>

<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Segoe UI" />

<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Right"/>

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

</Style>

</telerik:RadGridView.Resources>

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"/>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Established}"

Header="Est."

DataFormatString="{}{0:yyyy}"/>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding StadiumCapacity}"

Width="200"

Header="Stadium"

DataFormatString="{}{0:N0}"/>

</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

</telerik:RadGridView>

<TextBlock Text="My long looong text is here." Grid.Row="1" />

In this case the Style defined in RadGridView will be applied to all TextBlock-s in it, while the other Style will be applied to the TextBlock outside.

I also have an issue with RadGridView alignment to right. I programmatically add columns to the GridView,

and the result is always left align, even when the 4-th parm is TextAlignment.Right.

public void AddDgColumn(RadGridView grid, string header, string propertyName,
                    TextAlignment textAlignment = TextAlignment.Left,
                    string columnGroupName = null, string stringFormat = null,
                    EWidthSize eWidth = EWidthSize.NA, double minWidth = 0, double starWidth = 0,
                    bool isReadOnly = true, double width = 0
                    )
        { // https://www.telerik.com/forums/column-textalignment-isn-t-working
            try
            {
                Binding binding = new Binding(propertyName);
                binding.Mode = BindingMode.OneWay;
                binding.UpdateSourceTrigger = UpdateSourceTrigger.PropertyChanged;

                if (stringFormat != null)
                    binding.StringFormat = stringFormat;

                GridViewDataColumn column = new GridViewDataColumn
                {
                    Header = header,
                    ColumnGroupName = columnGroupName,
                    IsReadOnly = isReadOnly,
                    DataMemberBinding = binding,
                    TextAlignment = textAlignment
                };

RadGridWPF.zip

Hi Bob,

In the provided code snippet the TextAlignment is set to Left. Setting it to Right is working as expected on my end. Attached to my reply you can find a sample application demonstrating this. Can you please take a look at it?
