Vista - Simplest way to right-align GridViewColumn

I've got a ListView, containing some numbers (currency and others), and
would like to be able to right-align the columns with numbers.

Since I can't find any tag on GridViewColumn to change the alignment,
whats the easiest way to achieve this?

Thanks,
Sam

I believe you'll need to define a CellTemplate for the column. In the template
just put a TextBlock and set it's TextAlignment to TextAlignment.Right. That
would look something like this:

<GridViewColumn ...>
<GridViewColumn.CellTempate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=???}" TextAlignment="Right" />
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>

HTH,

Drew,

I had to change it a bit to make it work, but it does the trick. In the
end for me it looks like:

<ListView.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="MyTemplate">
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Right" Block.TextAlignment="Right"
Text="{Binding Path=MyData}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.Resources>
[...]
<GridViewColumn Width="80" Header="my data"
CellTemplate="{StaticResource MyTemplate}"/>

Thanks for the hint!
Sam
