Column text justification.
posted

I'm sure it's simple, but I'm not figuring it out.

I have a column that I'm formatting as currency. However, all of the text is Left justified in that column. It would be a lot easier to read if all the values lined up and where right justified.

What do I do if I want to right justify a column... or center since we're on the topic.

    Hi Tony,

    you can use some jQuery code similar to this one below, it will do it. At the moment there isn't a way to do this by setting just a column option in the grid configuration, but it's on the list.

               $("#grid1").live("iggridrendered", function (event, args) {
                    // right-justify text in the third column
                    args.owner.element.find("tr td:nth-child(3)").css("text-align", "right"); // or "center"
                });

    In the context of MVC, it could be declared like:

    <asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(document).ready(function () {
                $("#grid1").live("iggridrendered", function (event, args) {
                    // right-justify text in the third column
                    args.owner.element.find("tr td:nth-child(3)").css("text-align", "right");
                });

            });

        </script>
        <%= Html.Infragistics().Grid(Model).ID("grid1").Height("250px").Columns(column =>

    // rest of the grid definition

    Hope it helps,
