I have a c# WinUI 3 desktop application (VS 2019) - right align text in a datagrid cell-CodePudding

Using a datagrid. I would like to right align certain columns. The way I tried it below does not work. Does anyone know the correct way? Thanks a lot.

    <Grid Grid.Row="2" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
        <controls:DataGrid x:Name="Results_DataGrid"  
                       AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                       CanUserSortColumns="False"
                       AreRowDetailsFrozen="True"
                       BorderBrush="#005986"
                       BorderThickness="2 2 2 2"
                       Margin="3 10 3 5"
                       PointerReleased="Results_DataGrid_PointerReleased">
            <controls:DataGrid.Columns>
                <controls:DataGridTextColumn
                        Header="Jan"
                        Width="SizeToHeader"
                        Binding="{Binding Jan}"
                        FontSize="11"
                        Foreground="Black" 
                        >
                    **<controls:DataGridTextColumn.ElementStyle>
                        <Style TargetType="controls:DataGridCell">
                            <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Right"/>
                        </Style>
                    </controls:DataGridTextColumn.ElementStyle>**
                </controls:DataGridTextColumn>
            </controls:DataGrid.Columns>
        </controls:DataGrid>

CodePudding user response：

The ElementStyle in the DataGridTextColumn targets a TextBlock.

<controls:DataGridTextColumn.ElementStyle>
    <Style TargetType="TextBlock">
        <Setter Property="HorizontalTextAlignment" Value="Right" />
    </Style>
</controls:DataGridTextColumn.ElementStyle>

I also can use the CellStyle for this.

<controls:DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
    <Style TargetType="controls:DataGridCell">
        <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Right" />
    </Style>
</controls:DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
