Padding

[Stephen]

I'm trying to get a little space around the items in the grid, some right-justified numbers are running right up against the grid line. I tried setting the Padding attribute of the RadGridView but it does not seem to have any noticeable effect. Can you advise if this should do what I expect?

Hello Stephen,

You can handle CellFormatting event and set the Padding property of the cell. Here is sample code:

void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    e.CellElement.Padding = new Padding(0, 0, 5, 0);
}

If you need further assistance, I will be glad to help.

Kind regards,

Hello,

I am having this trouble as well, but using this workaround isn't compatible with BestFit, since it widens the contents of the column by the padding, causing some cells to be forced to contain elipses... because the content no longer fits. Is there a way to implement padding while still having a proper bestfit?

Thanks!
