[Solved] RadGridView Footer Text Alignment

[Bryan Johnson]

I'm trying to align my aggregates in the footer of the gridview to the right using the following code but it is not working:

((

 

GridViewDataColumn)this.SalesAnalysisGrid.Columns[cbitem.Content.ToString()]).FooterTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Right;

 

Please help.

Hi Bryan Johnson,

I have tested the code-snippet you provided and everything works as expected on my side. Thus, in order to give you an appropriate solution, I would need more details about your project. Is the "cbitem.Content.ToString()" equal to the UniqueName of the column ?

 

All the best,

Hi Maya,

Yes I am using the unique column name.  Here is the entire code snippet.  Everything works except for the right alignment of the footer total.

case "Sum":
    {
        foreach (RadComboBoxItem cbitem in cmbField.Items)
        {
            SumFunction f = new SumFunction();
            f.ResultFormatString = "{0:n}";
            ((GridViewDataColumn)this.SalesAnalysisGrid.Columns[cbitem.Content.ToString()]).AggregateFunctions.RemoveAll();
            ((GridViewDataColumn)this.SalesAnalysisGrid.Columns[cbitem.Content.ToString()]).AggregateFunctions.Add(f);
            ((GridViewDataColumn)this.SalesAnalysisGrid.Columns[cbitem.Content.ToString()]).HeaderTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center;
            ((GridViewDataColumn)this.SalesAnalysisGrid.Columns[cbitem.Content.ToString()]).TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Right;
            ((GridViewDataColumn)this.SalesAnalysisGrid.Columns[cbitem.Content.ToString()]).FooterTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Right;
        }
        break;
    }

Hi Bryan Johnson,

Unfortunately, this code-snippet does not allow me to make any further suggestion on the possible reason for the FooterTextAlignment not to work. What exactly is the whole setting of your RadGridView ? Any relevant code-snipper would be helpful.

Maya,

I found the problem.  Even though I was setting the property in the C# code like I showed you it still would not right align the footer text.  However, when I set the FooterTextAlignment="Right" in the xaml it worked.  Could this be a bug with the gridview?  I would think that whichever way you set the property, it should be applied.  Thanks for the help.

Hello Bryan Johnson,

Basically, there should be no reason for you not to be able to set the FooterTextAlignment Property in the code behind. Consequently, I do not believe there is a bug in the grid. However, if you provide us with a sample project (via support ticket) or code-snippets defining the grid, I may be able to test locally your exact scenario.
 

Kind regards,

I was experiencing a similar problem today. At some point, I was assigning FooterTextAlignment to right for all the columns, but couldn't see any changes.
Then, I moved this assignment earlier in lifecycle, to the point when grid column is created (also programmatically), and it started to work. I guess it used to be assigned too late, I'm not sure where this time point is... But that's my impression.
