GridViewHyperlinkColumn ignoring TextAlignment...bug??

[Rahul]

Hello,

I have Hyperlink columns and am noticing it's just ignoring the TextAlignment property. I changed the "GridViewHyperlinkColumn" to "GridViewTextBoxColumn" and the TextAlignment works just fine.

var column = new GridViewHyperlinkColumn() { FieldName = sColumnNames[i], HeaderText = sColumnDisplayNames[i],
                                                                            HeaderTextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft, TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter };
        rgvWidget.Columns.Add(column);

Hi Rahul,

Thank you for writing.

The link in the GridViewHyperlinkColumn resides in a separate element within the GridHyperlinkCellElement, thus the setting of the column does not introduce the desired change - it sets it on the main element only. To achieve the desired appearance, you should handle the CellFormatting event in the following manner:

void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    GridHyperlinkCellElement cell = e.CellElement as GridHyperlinkCellElement;
    if (cell != null)
    {
        cell.ContentElement.Alignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;
    }
}

I will add this as a feature request to our Public Issue Tracking System and we will consider it in a future release. Feel free to add your vote for it here: http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/public/winforms/12023.

Your Telerik Points have been updated accordingly.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

That works. Thanks Stefan!
