[Solved] ComboBoxColumn alignment issue

[Tomas]

Hi,

I've noticed that the ComboBoxColumn while in display mode aligns the text far more to the right than for example a normal DataColumn does however in edit mode (ComboBox visible) the alignment is ok. This makes the text "jump" from side to side when switching between edit and display mode.

I've included a screenshot for reference but the same behaviour can be seen in your demo aswell:

How to fix this?

Hello Tomas,

You may define a cell style as follows:

<UserControl.Resources>
    <Style x:Key="ComboBoxCellStyle" TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell">
        <Setter Property="Padding" Value="1,0,0,1" />
    </Style>
</UserControl.Resources>

and set it for the GridViewComboBoxColumn:

<telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn Header="Nationality"

    CellStyle="{StaticResource ComboBoxCellStyle}"

                  DataMemberBinding="{Binding CountryID}"

                  DisplayMemberPath="Name"
                                SelectedValueMemberPath="ID" />

Hi Maya,

Thank you that works. But shouldn't this be the default?
Is it possible to set this style on all columns of type GridViewComboBoxColumn instead of explicitly having to set the style on all grids?
