I'm using GridColumnStyles to define the columns of a DataView I want
displayed. I want some of the columns to display the data as right justified.
I use the HorizontalAlignment.Right enumeration to set the alignment for the
column. All works fine except that the column descriptions are being clipped.
The last character is often not visible or only partly visible. Is there a
fix for this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Just a simple work-around suggestion. Maybe adding a space to the HeaderText
as you set up your column styles will avoid the problem.

I previously tried a space but it made no difference. I've since tried adding
a period (.) at the end and that works fairly well. It's effectivenss
depends on the pixel width of the last character. In the cases I've tried the
period doesn't show but the last character does except when there is a wide
last character like 'y'. In this case part of the period shows, but only a
pixel width, so it's not too noticeable.

So is this a known issue? When it is fixed I'll just have to update the
column header text to remove my periods. Not a terrible work around.
