How to apply horizontalAlignment dynamically for column.dataType in an Autogenerated GridView?

[Oscar]

Hi,
It seems that autogenerated GridView sets all its columns to horizontalAlignment=Left. I would like to set the horizontalAlignment cells depending on its dataType column. HorizontalAlignment should be:
    

• Left for strings
• Right for numeric 
• Center for boolean dataType

.
How can I accomplish this?

Hello Oscar,

You can gain control over  the autogenerated columns in the AutoGeneratingColumn event of  RadGridView.
Inside the event handler, you may alter the settings of each autogenerated column.

Let me know in case you need additional assistance on this .

Thank you, Pavel, but... I can't find the horizontalAligment property for the cell of the e.column.

Hi,

 You can use GridViewColumn TextAlignment property to achieve your goal. 

Kind regards,

TextAlignment does not work for boolean dataType. The checkBox always appears aligned to the left for boolean dataType column.

Hi,

 
For such columns you may also assign cell style with TargetType GridViewCell, where you may set the HorizontalContentAligment to an appropriate value and the checkboxes will be aligned correspondingly.

How do i achieve this for all the grids in the project, as i do not want to write the auto generating event for every grid.

One way is to achieve this when autogeneratincolumn=true is to extend radgridview with control templates. can you provide me the control template of radgridview.

Thanks

Hello,

 You may want to create attached behavior and reuse it for all grids in your application. You can even bind your columns from a view-model similar to various our demos.
