Setting Text Alignment

ComponentOne Grid for WPF: Grid for WPF Appearance > Setting Text Alignment

In the 2009 v1 release, Grid for WPF added several options for grid text alignment. Now it's easy to specify how grid content will be aligned or justified.

The following alignment properties are included in the grid:

Class	Member	Description
C1DataGrid	HeaderCellTextAlignment property	Defines a default text alignment of grid column header captions.
C1DataGrid	ItemCellTextAlignment property	Defines a default text alignment of grid item cell values.
C1DataGrid	TotalResultCellTextAlignment property	Defines a default text alignment of grid column totals.
Column	ActualHeaderCellTextAlignment property	Gets an effective text alignment of column header caption.
Column	ActualItemCellTextAlignment property	Gets an effective text alignment of column item cell values.
Column	ActualTotalResultCellTextAlignment property	Gets an effective text alignment of column total result.

Column	HeaderCellTextAlignment property	Defines a text alignment of column header caption.
Column	TotalResultCellTextAlignment property	Defines a text alignment of column total result.

Using the GridTextAlignment enumeration you can justify various elements of the grid by setting their alignment to General (default), Left, Right, Center, or Justify:

Option	Description
General (default)	Text will be left-aligned for string end enumeration types, right aligned for date and numeric types, and centered for Boolean values.
Left	All text will be left-aligned.
Right	All text will be right-aligned.
