How to align the first column of listView to the right? [duplicate]

I have a Listview in detail mode with 3 columns. I want to set the text align for the headers to "center". This works for the last two columns but not for the first. If I want to change it to "center" and click on "center", the field keeps being set to "left". Can I change this using the properties or do I need to program this?
Thanks.

According to the documentation:
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 version 2.0, you can handle the ListView.DrawColumnHeader event and paint the column header yourself.
Another alternative workaround is to not use the first column at all and hide it by setting its width to zero.

I have got a simple solution: Add a new (not needed) first column. Change the alignment of the second column (your real first column) to right or center (can now be done in the designer). In Form-Load-Event remove the first (temporary) column. Voila - the textalignent now should be correct.
I have testet this behavior under Windows 7, 8.1 and 10. It should work.

I realize this is an old post, but I just found another workaround. If you insert whitespaces just before the header text you are inserting or changing in your code (I know it's rough and you need to calculate how many spaces gets your header centered, but it works!) then you can alter the position of the first column's (0) header text as follows:
ListView2.Columns(0).Text = " " & ListView1.SelectedItems(0).Text.ToString

Is there a way to style the unwanted rightmost column in Wpf Datagrid so that it looks different from rest of the grid?

I am using Wpf DataGrid and I can see a last unwanted column, which I understand is just a filler for the available space on the right, and is not an actual column as such. Is there a way to style that column a bit different than rest of the grid so that I can highlight that it is not an actual column?

Apply a style to targettype header with a trigger that does whatever you want when content equals {x:null}. Since the last header has no content the trigger will fire on that one.

How can I display all text in Cell of GridView

I use GridView in my C# application, and the cell seems too small.
I find the prop of GridView, but I find nothing about it. How can I display all text in Cell?

Under Columns Collection property there is AutoSizeMode under Layout. And use for example DisplayedCells and see for yourself.
For Word Wrap you could set it programmatically like:
// Columns[1] for 2nd column based on your example.
dataGridView.Columns[1].DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.true;
But don't set the AutoSizeMode as above or else the columns will still expand.
You could set it also manually under Columns Collection property and under Appearance select Default Cell Style and then set WrapMode to true.

change column backcolor to default in C# Datagridview

I have a Datagridview with some colmns and some data. Now when I click on a button it changes into Editmode, where the User can change data in some columns.
The Datagridview itself has alternating row backcolors, but in editmode the editable columns are completely white. To ahieve this I use the following:
column1.CellTemplate.Style.BackColor = Color.White;
Now when the User finishes editing, the rows have to become like in the beginning. Can someone show me some code how to change the column completely back to default, with alternating row backcolors.
Some Info: I set the colors in the designer and not in code, so I don't even know how to set alternating backcolor anyway, I started C# only 2 months ago.
Maybe the solution is very simple, but I have no idea...

solved: I just set the Style to the style of a column that was not changed:
Column1.CellTemplate.Style = Column2.CellTemplate.Style;
Column 2 was not changed, so in my case this works.

So basically, you set the alternating row in designer at the first place. And after clicking a button, editing is possible, and the cell style is changed? Well, in my opinion by this code, you break the alternate coloring.
Datagrid provides CellEndEdit event, so I would suggest you to register to this event and after the event is fired, just set the alternate row style in your code behind. You will find more on this topic here.
Other options might be registering to the EditModeChanged event and then checking if the property EditMode has the value you demmand. There is more choices. But I'd go with the first one. Does this solve your issue?

multiline column in data grid view. using c#

Im using c# .net windows form application. i have a datagrid view. It has two columns.I need to make all the cells on the second column as to have multiple line. i.e a multiline column. I will edit something in a cell and press enter key. the cursor should reach the next line in the same cell. It should not go to the next cell. What should i do?

If you set the column default style like:
this.dataGridView1.Columns[index].DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True;
you can enter multiline by pressing SHIFT-ENTER
Otherwise you could change the cell control editor overriding dataGridView or handling EditingControlShowing event (the default control is a textbox)
EDIT:
there's almost the same question here:
DataGridView: How can I make the enter key add a new line instead of changing the current cell?
