Header Positioning

[Tim]

Your text alignment does not work.  If you set the text alignment for a GridViewDecimalColumn to MiddleRight, and set the HeaderTextAlignment to MiddleCenter, when you run the Grid both of them are shown as MiddleRight, the column data and the Header.

Thanks Jack for the heads up.  Is there any way possible that I can get an update before April please.  I am doing an actual deployment of this particular application February 8, 2008.  Please let me know...  Thanks.

Hello again Leonard,

I am glad to inform you that after some digging I found a solution for your issue. You can use the CellFormatting event and change the text alignment manually through code. The following code sample demonstrates this approach:

this.radGridView1.CellFormatting += new CellFormattingEventHandler(radGridView1_CellFormatting);
((GridViewDataColumn)this.radGridView1.Columns["Value"]).TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight;
this.radGridView1.Columns["Value"].HeaderTextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;
this.radGridView1.GridElement.Update(false);
void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement is GridHeaderCellElement)
    {
        if (((GridViewDataColumn)e.CellElement.ColumnInfo).DataField == "Value")
        {
            e.CellElement.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;
        }
    }
}

In case you need further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us.

 
Sincerely yours,
Jack
