wpf datagrid row alignment
Francois picture Francois · May 20, 2011 · Viewed 48k times · Source

I set the min height of a datagrid that way:

<DataGrid MinRowHeight="40">

After feeding the datagrid with datas, the text in each cell is top and left aligned. I could not find an easy way to center that text.

Any suggestions for doing that?

Final solution:

<Style x:Key="DataGridContentCellCentering" TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
                <Grid Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
                    <ContentPresenter VerticalAlignment="Center" />
                </Grid>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>
