Hi,
Here is a columnstyle that I wrote that allows you to align the data
and column header differently. Set the alignment for the header and
dataalignment for the data. Hope this helps.
Public Class HeaderAndDataAlignColumn
Inherits DataGridTextBoxColumn
Private mTxtAlign As HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left
Private mDrawTxt As New StringFormat
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Edit(ByVal source As
System.Windows.Forms.CurrencyManager, ByVal rowNum As Integer, ByVal bounds
As System.Drawing.Rectangle, ByVal [readOnly] As Boolean, ByVal instantText
As String, ByVal cellIsVisible As Boolean)
MyBase.Edit(source, rowNum, bounds, [readOnly], instantText, cellIsVisible)
MyBase.TextBox.TextAlign = mTxtAlign
MyBase.TextBox.CharacterCasing = CharacterCasing.Upper
End Sub
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Paint(ByVal g As System.Drawing.Graphics,
ByVal bounds As System.Drawing.Rectangle, ByVal source As
System.Windows.Forms.CurrencyManager, ByVal rowNum As Integer, ByVal
backBrush As System.Drawing.Brush, ByVal foreBrush As System.Drawing.Brush,
ByVal alignToRight As Boolean)
'clear the cell
g.FillRectangle(backBrush, bounds)
'draw the value
Dim s As String = Me.GetColumnValueAtRow([source], rowNum).ToString()
Dim r As Rectangle = bounds
r.Inflate(0, -1)
g.DrawString(s, MyBase.TextBox.Font, foreBrush, RectangleF.op_Implicit(r), _
mDrawTxt)
End Sub
Public Property DataAlignment() As HorizontalAlignment
Get
Return mTxtAlign
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As HorizontalAlignment)
mTxtAlign = Value
If mTxtAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Center Then
mDrawTxt.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center
ElseIf mTxtAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Right Then
mDrawTxt.Alignment = StringAlignment.Far
Else
mDrawTxt.Alignment = StringAlignment.Near
End If
End Set
End Property
End Class

Hi all;
Putting "Due" into the column header of a datagrid.
Font is a proportional fort.
When the alignment is left, there is some space between the column separator
bar and the D in Due. When the alignment is center, Due is centered in the
header box. When the alignment is right, the e in Due is partially covered
by the column separator bar. Adding space after Due (i.e.. "Due ") does
not work. HeaderText seems to be trimmed before printing. Any suggestions on
how to position Due to the right but a few spaces away from the separator
bar?
Thanks.
