Thank you. Yes I tried with refresh().
Here is my code:

func f_DataStrAlign(r,c,f,o)

oBrw:nRowDividerStyle := 0 // I put this to proof that refresh is working

oBrw:aCols[ o:nPos ]:nDataStrAlign := AL_RIGHT

oBrw:refresh()

return nil

The text does not move.
Regards,
Otto

Otto,

Try it this way:

oCol = oBrw:aCols[ o:nPos ]
oCol:nDataStrAlign := AL_RIGHT
oCol:nDataStyle := oCol:DefStyle( oCol:nDataStrAlign, ( oCol:oBrw:nDataLines == 1 ) )
regards, saludos

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN
METHOD   DataAlign( nAlign ) CLASS TXBrwColumn

   if ! ( ::nDataStrAlign == nAlign )  // tolerate nil param
      ::nDataStrAlign := AL_RIGHT
      ::nDataStyle := ::DefStyle( ::nDataStrAlign, ( ::oBrw:nDataLines == 1 ) )
   endif

RETURN ::nDataStrAlign

Thank you Enrico.
I changed it in METHOD PaintData:
if ::bStrData != nil
cData := RTRIM( Eval( ::bStrData, Self ))
else
cData := ""
endif

To nageswaragunupudi:
If I insert the method DataAlign I get all centered.

Mr Otto

Obviously the values should be rtimmed for right justification. My proposed method is only for changing justification on the fly.

If you change the paint method you may like to cover the cases of left, center and riight justifcations and all other possibilities. For non left justified painting probably alltrim(,,,) may be better, We should also keep in mind multiple line painting. Paint is a very generic method. Should we change this paint method or specify bStrData appropriately?

It is most common to right justify numbers and left justify text in tables. Numbers need to be right justified to make the decimals aline. I can't think of a good reason to right justify text.

Hello James,

to learn to use xBrowser I created a little tool xBTool to build a xBrowser visually.
There I want to click on the header and select if the column should be right aligned or left.

Doing this I saw that text fields do not align accurately. Therefore I pointed this problem out.

Regards,
Otto
