ColumnHeader::TextAlign Property
Gets or sets the horizontal alignment of the text displayed in the ColumnHeader.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
public: property HorizontalAlignment TextAlign { HorizontalAlignment get(); void set(HorizontalAlignment value); }
Property Value
Type: System.Windows.Forms::HorizontalAlignmentOne of the HorizontalAlignment values. The default is Left.
You can use this property to provide different text alignment settings for the text displayed in each ColumnHeader.

Due to a limitation in the underlying control, this property has no effect on the first column in the ListView control, which is always aligned to the left. To work around this limitation in .NET Framework 2.0, you can handle the ListView::DrawColumnHeader event and paint the column header yourself. |
The following code example demonstrates initializing a ListView control. The example creates ColumnHeader objects and sets the column header's Text, TextAlign and Width properties. The example also adds items and subitems to the ListView. To run this example paste the following code in a form and call the PopulateListView method from the form's constructor or Load event handler.
private: void PopulateListView() { ListView1->Width = 270; ListView1->Location = System::Drawing::Point( 10, 10 ); // Declare and construct the ColumnHeader objects. ColumnHeader^ header1; ColumnHeader^ header2; header1 = gcnew ColumnHeader; header2 = gcnew ColumnHeader; // Set the text, alignment and width for each column header. header1->Text = "File name"; header1->TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment::Left; header1->Width = 70; header2->TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment::Left; header2->Text = "Location"; header2->Width = 200; // Add the headers to the ListView control. ListView1->Columns->Add( header1 ); ListView1->Columns->Add( header2 ); // Specify that each item appears on a separate line. ListView1->View = View::Details; // Populate the ListView.Items property. // Set the directory to the sample picture directory. System::IO::DirectoryInfo^ dirInfo = gcnew System::IO::DirectoryInfo( "C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users" "\\Documents\\My Pictures\\Sample Pictures" ); // Get the .jpg files from the directory array<System::IO::FileInfo^>^files = dirInfo->GetFiles( "*.jpg" ); // Add each file name and full name including path // to the ListView. if ( files != nullptr ) { System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum = files->GetEnumerator(); while ( myEnum->MoveNext() ) { System::IO::FileInfo^ file = safe_cast<System::IO::FileInfo^>(myEnum->Current); ListViewItem^ item = gcnew ListViewItem( file->Name ); item->SubItems->Add( file->FullName ); ListView1->Items->Add( item ); } } }
