Members

Member	Description
xtpAlignmentLeft	Left aligns the contents of the GridColumn.
xtpAlignmentCenter	Centers the contents of the GridColumn.
xtpAlignmentRight	Right aligns the contents of the GridColumn.
xtpAlignmentVCenter	Vertically centers the content of cells within the GridColumn.
xtpAlignmentWordBreak	This allows the text to "wrap" in a column if the width of the column is not wide enough to display the contents of the item. This specifies that line breaks are allowed.
xtpAlignmentTextMask	Combination of xtpAlignmentLeft, xtpAlignmentCenter, xtpAlignmentRight, xtpAlignmentVCenter, and xtpAlignmentWordBreak. This is used primarily for BitWise math (AND and OR operators) to remove all Text alignment styles when Text alignment is not needed. For example, `Column.Alignment And xtpAlignmentTextMask` would result in all Text alignment flags being removed from the column.
xtpAlignmentIconLeft	Left aligns the icon of items in the GridColumn.
xtpAlignmentIconCenter	Centers the icon of items in the GridColumn.
xtpAlignmentIconRight	Right aligns the icon of items in the GridColumn.
xtpAlignmentIconTop	Aligns icons on the top of items in the Grid Column.
xtpAlignmentIconVCenter	Vertically centers the icon of items in the GridColumn.
xtpAlignmentIconBottom	Aligns icons on the bottom of items in the Grid Column.
xtpAlignmentIconMask	Combination of xtpAlignmentIconLeft, xtpAlignmentIconCenter, and xtpAlignmentIconRight. This is used primarily for BitWise math (AND and OR operators) to remove all Icon alignment styles when icon alignment is not needed. For example, `Column.Alignment And xtpAlignmentIconMask` would result in all icon alignment flags being removed from the column.

Note: FixedRowHeight must also be False to allow multi-line rows.

Remarks

This will align the contents of the GridRecordItem within the GridColumn. Both the text and icon can be assigned a different alignment within the same item by combining the text and icon flags.

XTPColumnAlignment can be used for column Footer Alignment, column HeaderAlignment, and Column Alignment.

Example

This sample code illustrates how to specify the alignment of the contents of a GridColumn.

Dim Column As GridColumn

Set Column = wndGridControl.Columns.Add(COLUMN_NAME, "Name", 300, True)
Set Column = wndGridControl.Columns.Add(COLUMN_TYPE, "Type", 184, True)
Set Column = wndGridControl.Columns.Add(COLUMN_MODIFIED, "Modified", 104, True)
Column.Alignment = xtpAlignmentCenter
Set Column = wndGridControl.Columns.Add(COLUMN_SIZE, "Size", 80, True)
Column.Alignment = xtpAlignmentRight
