Varun,

Yes, this is one way to place a checkbox in a field. However, it is not necessary to create a style for the CellValuePresenter just to do that.

You can also set the EditAsType property to {x:Type sys:Boolean} (sys is a namespace for System; mscorlib) or set EditorType property to {x:Type idEditors:XamCheckEditor}.

By default, the grid would create a checkbox field if the value of that field is boolean. To center it, you should set the StackPanel's Horizontal/VerticalContentAlignment properties to center. I believe that should be enough. You also have CellContentAlignment property in the field settings.

Hope this helps.

Super show dude :-)

One more question...

How to center align the check box, which is one of the grid column.

I am using the following code to add a check box as columns to the grid. Is this the correct way to do or is there any other way to accomplish it?

<igDP:XamDataGrid Name="dgDet" Grid.Row="1"
                                      Grid.ColumnSpan="9" TabIndex="60" Width="Auto"
                                      GroupByAreaLocation="None"
                                      HorizontalAlignment="Center">
                        <igDP:XamDataGrid.Resources>
                            <Style TargetType="{x:Type igDP:CellValuePresenter}">
                                <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left" />

Varun,

Then, you can create a style trigger (DataTrigger) and left align only the column Employee name:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type igDP:CellValuePresenter}">
      <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center" />

<Style.Triggers>

<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=Field.Name, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" Value="EmployeeName">

 <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left" />

</DataTrigger>

</Style.Triggers>
   </Style>

Thanks for the reply Alex.

Consider i have grid with 3 columns, Employee ID, Employee Name and Employee Joining Date.

I want to right align The Employee ID Column cells, Left align the Employee Name column cells and the center align the Employee Joining Date column cells.

But the setter property what i mentioned is aligning all the cells to center.

Thanks,

Varun
