Text Alignment in WPF DataGrid

Question

How to map column data to center in WPF DataGrid ?

Answer 1

It's hard to say without knowing the 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> 

Answer 2

If you are using a DataGridTextColumn, you can use the following code snippet:

 <Style TargetType="DataGridCell"> <Style.Setters> <Setter Property="TextBlock.TextAlignment" Value="Center" /> </Style.Setters> </Style> 

Answer 3

I started with a huttelihut solution. Unfortunately, so far this has not worked. I changed his answer and came up with this (the solution is to align the text to the right):

 <Resources> <Style x:Key="RightAligned" TargetType="TextBlock"> <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Right"/> </Style> </Resources> 

As you can see, I applied the style to a TextBlock, not a DataGridCell.

And then I had to set the Element style, not the Cell style.

 ElementStyle="{StaticResource RightAligned}"

+1 for Kent Boogart. I ended up doing this, making the code a bit less cluttered (and allowing me to use multi-column alignment):

 <Resources> <Style x:Key="NameCellStyle" TargetType="DataGridCell"> <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center" /> </Style> </Resources> <DataGrid.Columns> <DataGridTextColumn Header="Name" CellStyle="{StaticResource NameCellStyle}" Binding="{Binding Name}"/> // .. other columns </DataGrid.Columns>

Here's @MohammedAFadil's XAML response converted to C # code behind:

 var MyStyle = new Style(typeof(DataGridCell)) { Setters = { new Setter(TextBlock.TextAlignmentProperty, TextAlignment.Center) } }; 

To apply Style , set the CellStyle property for the DataGrid , for example

 var MyGrid = new DataGrid() { CellStyle = MyStyle }; 

Answer 6

Or in the code behind:

 grid.CellStyle = newCellStyle(); public static Style newCellStyle() { //And here is the C# code to achieve the above System.Windows.Style style = new Style(typeof(DataGridCell)); style.Setters.Add(new System.Windows.Setter { Property = Control.HorizontalAlignmentProperty, Value = HorizontalAlignment.Center }); return style; } 

Answer 7

I'm having trouble moving the cell and funky using the accepted answer. I know this late, but hopefully my results will help someone. I use:

 <DataGridTextColumn.ElementStyle> <Style> <Setter Property="FrameworkElement.HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"/> </Style> 

not CellStyle.

Answer 8

Ok, I used the frameworkElement approach, but there was a weird behavior when you try to highlight a row.

I added another example of WPat Datagrid alignment in this thread !

Answer 9

My favorite solution:

 <DataGridTextColumn Header="My Column" Binding="{Binding MyDBValue}" Width="100" > <DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle> <Style> <Setter Property="FrameworkElement.HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"/> </Style> </DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle> 

Answer 10

Thanks to Danny Beckett for translating @MohammedAFadil's XAML response converted to C # code. All my datagrids are dynamically configured, so I can change something whenever I want.

To set an empty datagrid, there is nothing in it, and then just bind it to the 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 }); 

Answer 11

It works well for me

 <DataGridTextColumn Width="1*" Binding="{Binding Balance, StringFormat=C} "Header="Balance"> <DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle> <Style> <Setter Property="TextBlock.TextAlignment" Value="Right"/> </Style> </DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle> </DataGridTextColumn>
