How to align the column header when its data is aligned to LEFT?

[david bosak]

Hi!

For example, the data of "Column1" is aligned to LEFT. How to align the column header as its data?

Thanks!

To align a column header for a particular column, you can set:

grid[0, colIndex].HorizontalAlignment = GridHorizontalAlignment.Left;

More generally, you can loop through the column styles and set the style o fthe header cell to match the style of the column.

//in a gridcontrol
for(int i = 1; i <= grid.ColCount; ++i)
    grid[0, i].HorizontalAlignment = grid.ColStyles[i].HorizontalAlignment;

//in a griddataboundgrid
//if you have not added GridBoundColumns
for(int i = 1; i <= grid.Model.ColCount; ++i)
    grid[0, i].HorizontalAlignment = grid.Binder.InternalColumns[i-1].HorizontalAlignment; 

//in a griddataboundgrid
//if you have added GridBoundColumns
for(int i = 1; i <= grid.Model.ColCount; ++i)
    grid[0, i].HorizontalAlignment = grid.GridBoundColumns[i-1].HorizontalAlignment;

It not work with the following codes:

switch (fieldInfo.Align)
{
case "0":
this.dgrQueryResults[0, i].HorizontalAlignment
= GridHorizontalAlignment.Left;
dgrQueryResults.Model.ColStyles[header].HorizontalAlignment
= GridHorizontalAlignment.Left;
break;

case "1":
this.dgrQueryResults[0, i].HorizontalAlignment
= GridHorizontalAlignment.Right;
dgrQueryResults.Model.ColStyles[header].HorizontalAlignment
= GridHorizontalAlignment.Right;
break;

case "2":
this.dgrQueryResults[0, i].HorizontalAlignment
= GridHorizontalAlignment.Center;
dgrQueryResults.Model.ColStyles[header].HorizontalAlignment
= GridHorizontalAlignment.Center;
break;
}

Please help!

Are you using a GridControl? Or a GridDataBoundGrid?

As shown in the previous snippets, you do not use ColStyles with a GridDataBoundGrid. Instead, you use the StyleInfo object from the appropriate GridBoundColumn collection.

- I am using GridDataBoundGrid
- It still work when I use ColStyles[header]:
dgrQueryResults.Model.ColStyles[header].HorizontalAlignment
= GridHorizontalAlignment.Right;
- However, this command did not work:
this.dgrQueryResults[0, i].HorizontalAlignment
= GridHorizontalAlignment.Right;

Please help!

I am sorry. You do have to do something special to align header text on a cell by cell basis in a GridDataBoundGrid. You will need to do this in either grid.PrepareViewStyleInfo or in grid.Model.QueryCellInfo. Here is a sample using the PrepareViewStyleInfo event.
