Styling problem centering a CheckBox column created dynamically

[Paul]

I have been try to center a dynamically create checkbox column with the checkbox centered. If you create it in design time, it is centered. When I create it dynamically in the Page_Load event I get the checkbox left justified. I created it as follows:

checkBoxColumn = New TreeListCheckBoxColumn()

treeList.Columns.Add(checkBoxColumn)

checkBoxColumn.DataField = "Accessibility"

checkBoxColumn.UniqueName = "Accessibility"

checkBoxColumn.HeaderText = "Accessibility"

checkBoxColumn.ItemStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center

 

It works, just not centered. Any ideas as to why I cannot center the checkbox?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,

 
If you want to center the CheckBox in a column you should define a cell style and set the HorizontalContentAlignment property to Center:

<UserControl.Resources>
   <Style x:Key="style1" TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell">
    <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
   </Style>
</UserControl.Resources>

Finally you may set this style in code-behind to the column as shown below: 

column.CellStyle=this.Resources["style1"] as Style;

My code behind is in VB. I tried the following:

 

Dim checkBoxColumn As New TreeListCheckBoxColumn()

tcConfig.Columns.Add(checkBoxColumn)

checkBoxColumn.DataField = "Accessibility"

checkBoxColumn.UniqueName = "Accessibility"

checkBoxColumn.HeaderText = "Accessibility"

checkBoxColumn.CellStyle = Resources("style1")

 

I am getting an error:

‘CellStyle’ is not a member of ‘Telerik.Web.UI.TreeListCheckBoxColumn’.

I then tried,

checkBoxColumn.ItemStyle.CssClass = Resources("style1")

 

with the user control resources in the aspx page and also in the Web.config file. Either way ‘Resources’ was not found.
