HorizontalAlignment of CheckBox Column

[Henrique Duarte]

Hello,

How can I set the HorizontalAlignment property to "Center" of a CheckBox Column (GridViewDataColumn = boolean)?

Hi Henrique Duarte,

You can achieve the desired result by using the following XAML code:

<Grid>
    <Grid.Resources>
        <Style x:Key="HorizontalCell" TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell">
            <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
        </Style>
        <Style x:Key="checkEditStyle" TargetType="CheckBox">
            <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
        </Style>
    </Grid.Resources>
    <telerik:RadGridView Name="RadGridView1">
        <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
            <telerik:GridViewDataColumn
                DataMemberPath="MyBoolColumn"
                CellStyle="{StaticResource HorizontalCell}">
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.EditorSettings>
                    <telerik:CheckBoxEditorSettings
                        CellEditStyle="{StaticResource checkEditStyle}" />
                </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.EditorSettings>
            </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
        </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
    </telerik:RadGridView>
</Grid>

Hope this helps.

Sorry, but this really needs asking:  Why isn't there a HorizontalAlignment and/or HorizontalContentAlignment property on the GridViewDataColumn?

Hi Mark,

Actually, RadGridView's columns are not visual elements. This is why, you can't set those properties. As you already know you can use style targeting GridViewCell:

<Style x:Key="HorizontalCell" TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell"> 

         <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/> 
</Style>

<Style x:Key="checkEditStyle" TargetType="CheckBox"> 

         <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"/> 
</Style>
