Right To Left Cells

[Raftari]

How can I set Right-To-Left property of GridView Cells based on the data coming from database?

Hi ,

Thank you for writing.

You can make the whole grid right to left with this property:

radGridView1.RightToLeft = System.Windows.Forms.RightToLeft.Yes;

To make just certain cells, you can use the CellFormatting event:

void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.ColumnIndex == 1)
    {
        e.CellElement.RightToLeft = true;
    }
    else
    {
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(RadElement.RightToLeftProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
    }
}

I hope this helps.

No, this is not solution. I mean based on the data coming from database. For example, if the data in the cell is in Persian language then the cell should be right to left and if the data is in English language then the cell should be left to right or if the data is numeric then the cell should also be left to right. How can I do this?

Hello Raftari,

RadGridView does not have a functionality to determine whether data in a cell is right to left or not, so it is up to you to determine that and using the API I provided to set the cell RightToLeft property.
