How can I align the column data to center in a WPF DataGrid?
How can I align the column data to center in a WPF DataGrid?
It's hard to say without knowing specifics, but here's a DataGridTextColumn that is centered:
<wpf:DataGridTextColumn Header="Name" Binding="{Binding Name}" IsReadOnly="True">
<wpf:DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
<Style>
<Setter Property="FrameworkElement.HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
</Style>
</wpf:DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
</wpf:DataGridTextColumn>
If someone is still looking for answer for this, here's what worked for me:
<DataGridTextColumn ...>
<DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
<Grid Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
</DataGridTextColumn>
For me this one works well
<DataGridTextColumn Width="1*" Binding="{Binding Balance, StringFormat=C} "Header="Balance">
<DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
<Style>
<Setter Property="TextBlock.TextAlignment" Value="Right"/>
</Style>
</DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
</DataGridTextColumn>
Thanks Danny Beckett for converting @MohammedAFadil's XAML answer, converted to C# code. All of my datagrids are set up dynamically, so I can change anything, whenever.
To set up an empty datagrid, with nothing in it and then just bind it to data, just take your datagrid.columns
var centerTextSetter = new Style(typeof(DataGridCell))
{
Setters = { new Setter(TextBlock.TextAlignmentProperty, TextAlignment.Center) }
};
DgDbNames.Columns.Add(new DataGridTextColumn()
{
Header = "Db Name",
Binding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding("DbName"),
IsReadOnly = true,
Width = new DataGridLength(0.2, DataGridLengthUnitType.Star),
CellStyle = centerTextSetter
});
I really like Bruno's TextBlock.TextAlignment approach. You can use this in conjunction with horizontal alignment and then any background will stretch across the whole grid cell.
e.g. (in VB)
Dim sty = New System.Windows.Style(GetType(DataGridCell))
sty.Setters.Add(New Setter(HorizontalAlignmentProperty, HorizontalAlignment.Stretch))
sty.Setters.Add(New Setter(TextBlock.TextAlignmentProperty, TextAlignment.Right))
sty.Setters.Add(New Setter(BackgroundProperty, Brushes.LightGray))
