Hey

I have a ArrayCtrl in which a column represents money and I build it thus:

 theList.AddColumn("donativo").SetFormat("%2!nl").HeaderTab().SetAlign(ALIGN_RIGHT);

The numerical columns see far better if they are aligned to right.

Nevertheless the alignment only affects to the header, not to the data in the column.

index.php?t=getfile&id=266&private=0

I believe that it must be possible that all a column is aligned, but encounter the function or the method not to do it.

Somebody can give an instructions to me.

Using Display.

In my commercial apps, I am using this one:

class DisplayMoney : public Display {
public:
	void Paint(Draw& w, const Rect& r, const Value& q,
		       Color ink, Color paper, dword style) const;

protected:
	Font   font;
	bool   red;

public:
	static DisplayMoney Normal;
	static DisplayMoney Bold;
	static DisplayMoney NormalRed;


	DisplayMoney& SetFont(Font _font)  { font = _font; return *this; }
	DisplayMoney& Red(bool b)          { red = b; return *this; }
	DisplayMoney& NoRed()              { return Red(false); }

	DisplayMoney(Font font = GuiFont(), bool red = true) : font(font), red(red) {}
};

void DisplayMoney::Paint(Draw& w, const Rect& r, const Value& q,
						 Color ink, Color paper, dword s) const {
	String text;
	if(!IsNull(q)) text = FormatMoney(q);
	int cx = GetSmartTextSize(w, text, font).cx;
	w.DrawRect(r, paper);
	DrawSmartText(w, r.left + r.Width() - cx, r.top, r.Width(), text, font,
		          double(q) < 0 ? (s & CURSOR) && (s & FOCUS) ? SLtRed: SRed : ink);
}

You can achieve pretty much any appearance using Display. To use it, make instance that outlives ArrayCtrl (static variable is enough) and assign it to the ArrayCtrl columns using SetDisplay.
