Problem W/ ListView Alignments

[John Bowman]

Hello,

I'm working w/ a simple testing ListView control (in C#) in Details view
that has 3
columns. Why is it that Column 0's TextAlign cannot be set through the IDE
or from code such as below. It always defaults to Left.

lstCells.Columns[0].TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Center;

Anybody know what's going on here? The other 2 columns can be set via the
IDE or via code and they work just fine.

TIA,

The alignment of the first column is always left-justified, and it cannot be
changed. This is a limitation of the Windows API.

As a possible work-around, you could use a dummy first column with a width
set to 0, so that you would be able to change the alignment of the
remaining.
