FooterTextAlignment with multiple AggregateFunctions

[Robert]

I have a grid whose columns have multiple AggregateFunctions. The FooterTextAlignment for each column is set to Right, which results in the situation seen in the attached image. Seems like the footer cell itself is aligned to the right, but each line of text that corresponds to an aggregate result is left aligned within the cell. Is there a way to make all of the aggregate results right aligned?

Hello Robert,

A possible way to right align the result text of the aggregate functions is to redefine the Footer property of the GridViewColumn. In order to affect how each aggregate result is displayed, you will need to use the AggregateResultsList and define a new DataTemplate for its ItemTemplate property. For example you can define a TextBlock and set its TextAlignment property to "Right":

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Footer>
    <telerik:AggregateResultsList ItemsSource="{Binding}" VerticalAlignment="Center" >
        <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding FormattedValue}" TextAlignment="Right" />
            </DataTemplate>
        </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
    </telerik:AggregateResultsList>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Footer>

I attached a sample project that demonstrates the suggested approach.

Please examine it and let us know how it goes.

Thanks, that works. Is there a reason that that's not the default functionality of setting FooterTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Right?

Hi Robert,

In general the setting the FooterTextAlignment property of the GridViewColumn to TextAlignment.Right is meant to only move to the right the control containing the aggregate functions and not its content. The aggregate result is displayed via TextBlock and its TextAlignment property by default is set to "TextAlignment.Left".

I hope this helps.
