Any other workarounds for the totally screwball right-alignment on datagrid?

Any known fixes for the wacky right-alignment bug in the WinForms datagrid
(VS2003)?

I've tried Ken's workaround
(http://www.windowsformsdatagridhelp.com/default.aspx?ID=4bfab32d-9cff-4f5c-ba95-49bb9074a8bc),
but I get no alignment at all when calling the class.

George Shephard's site, while imminently useful, does not have an anwer for
this issue.

I posted on this topic about a year ago, and went in circles with Microsoft
who wanted to pretend that there was some bug in my code instead of in their
control. Enough time has passed and enough developers have posted on this
issue, that I must say, no, I am not interested in wanting to "learn more"
about 1 million MSDN webpages that are non-specific to this issue.
 
Hi,

If the mappingname is wrong for the tablestyle the tablestyle
will not work. Post some code

Just a note to keep this thread alive -- do you see anything wrong with the
code I wrote to implement your class Ken?
 
Hi,

I do not see where you add the columns to the tablestyle. Add
all the columns to the tablestyle before you add it to the datagrid. When
you add a tablestyle to a grid set the tablestyle's readonly property
instead of the datagrids.

Thanks for the reply Ken.

As shown in the code, the columns were added to the tablestyle after I
created the tablestyle (see tbcSaleDate).

However, the columns were added to the tablestyle AFTER I added it to the
datagrid (I'm not aware of a technique to prevent an exception trying that
your way).

Changing the tablestyle to readonly instead of the datagrid to readonly
didn't fix the right-alignment appearance.

In sum, here are the steps I used in the previous code to create a new
tablestyle. I'm still totally baffled by this crashed-in right-alignment
issue.

1. Set the datagrid datasource (DataGrid1.DataSource = dtHistory)
2. Create a new tablestyle (Dim tblStyle As New DataGridTableStyle)
3. Set the tablestyle mapping name (either tblStyle.MappingName =
"dtHistory" or tblStyle.MappingName = dtHistory.TableName.ToString)
4. Set the tablestyle to readonly
5. Clear the default datagrid tablestyle (DataGrid1.TableStyles.Clear()
6. Add the new tablestyle to the datagrid
(DataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(tblStyle))
7. Create the new datacolumns (Dim tbcSaleDate As DataGridTextBoxColumn =
CType(tblStyle.GridColumnStyles("SaleDate"), DataGridTextBoxColumn))

Oooooook ... I think I've found something here. Instantiating the columns at
the same time as I'm attaching them to the table style may be creating this
issue. Hold your fire until I experiment a little more.

Revised the code to not instantiate at same time as I map the datacolumn to
the textboxcolumn. This did not fix the right-alignment issue (clearly an
undocumented "feature"). However, it did allow me to now use your code fix,
which aligns the data to the right while the column name stays on the left
or center (either is adequate for my purposes). Much thanks for the fix!
