Gridview Formatting Issues

[Dean]

Hey,

I have a problem when trying to format my Gridview text.  On my cell I set text alignment using the following:

myCell.TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Right;

And that does what I want to do until I scroll from left to right on my GridView, at which point I get funky alignment results (I've noticed other misc. issues with the gridview control as well... issues with characters being cut off, etc. and most of them relate to scrolling).  See image for details (I blanked column names and used fake data on this example).

Is there anything I can try to fix this?  It's probably going to be a deal-breaker for this project in terms of using Telerik's gridview control.

Hello,

 Please set EnableColumnVirtualization to false and let me know about the result.

Setting EnableColumnVirtualization to false fixed the issue with alignment, but unfortunately it caused performance issues so it's not a good long-term solution for our needs (vertical scrolling is now jumpy for example).  Can we get a bug fix for this?

Any word on this yet?  It's still an issue for me.

Hi Dean,

 You can use template instead and if you want condition alignment you can use IValueConverter - I've attached an example project for reference.

Has this been fixed yet - I'd rather not junk up my XAML with converters / templates if the 2010-1 version fixes it.

Hi Larry,

Condition formatting with IValueConverter is the correct way - otherwise the grid virtualization will reset your setting once the cell is recycled.

Kind regards,

Forgive my persistence in this matter but it would seem that the TextAlignment, being a property of the column definition, should be applied to the cell when the cell is created. Should this property not work consistently regardless of whether virtualization is on or off?

[Vlad]

Hello Larry,

Indeed the column property TextAlignment will work as expeceted however if you assign cell.TextAlignment you may get such problems.

Thanks again for the swift reply. I must be missing something. I'm not assigning anything in code. My XAML is as follows:

 

<DockPanel>         <DockPanel.Resources>         </DockPanel.Resources>         <worklist:workListGridHeaderPanel DockPanel.Dock="Top" />         <tgrid:RadGridView x:Name="dataGrid1" IsReadOnly="True" IsFilteringAllowed="False" ShowGroupPanel="False"                            ItemsSource="{Binding}" AutoGenerateColumns="False" SelectionMode="Single"                            RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed" ScrollMode="RealTime"  DataLoadMode="Asynchronous"                            EnableRowVirtualization="True" EnableColumnVirtualization="True"  ShowColumnFooters="True"                            GridLinesVisibility="Horizontal" >     <tgrid:RadGridView.Columns>                 <tgrid:GridViewDataColumn Header="CaseSeq" UniqueName="CaseSeq" IsVisible="False"  DataMemberBinding="{Binding CaseSeq}" />                 <tgrid:GridViewDataColumn Header="Days Remaining" UniqueName="DaysRemaining"  DataMemberBinding="{Binding ProbationDaysRemaining}" TextAlignment="Right" />                 <tgrid:GridViewDataColumn Header="Balance" UniqueName="Balance" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Balance}" DataFormatString="{}{0:C}"                      TextAlignment="Right"/>                 <tgrid:GridViewDataColumn Header="CS Balance" UniqueName="CSBalance"  DataMemberBinding="{Binding CSBalance}" TextAlignment="Right" />             </tgrid:RadGridView.Columns>         </tgrid:RadGridView>     </DockPanel>

This appears fine when the grid is initially displayed but all the right-aligned fields are aligned inconsistently when scrolled (sometime left sometimes right). Are you saying this is the correct behavior?

Hi,

I've just tried this using our latest Q1 2010 Beta (will be released in a week officially) however everything worked as expected - you can check the attached application for reference.

All the best,

Yes - the 2010-1 beta does appear to fix the issue.

Thanks.
