XTable Cell Alignment Issues

[AlexVander]

Hello all:

I'm having an issue with my XTables.  I want my data to be center aligned within each cell, but "cell.Alignment=1" keeps returning the following error: "Object doesn't support this property or method: 'Cell.Alignment'."

The interesting thing is, however, that the header row for the columns (row 0) center aligns properly, without throwing an error.  Everything besides that remains left aligned.

I've attached a screenshot of my code.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Alex

Cell.VerticalAlignment = 1

Thanks for the response.  Looks like that would work for vertical alignment, but I'm looking to center the text horizontally within the cell.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Alex

Is any of your columns not of "Text" type?  they could be ListBox or something else which does not support "Alignment" property?

gsklyr:

No, they are all "Text" types- I'm putting values from channel properties as well as data from data channels into the cells.

I'm still stumped on this...

Thanks,

The return value of the function Val() is of numeric type and you are assigning it ti a cell.text.  Could it be messing with things?  Maybe you need to convert it back to string

[AlexVander]

Unfortunately, that is still throwing the same error.  Any more thoughts?

At the top of your EventValGet put the line:

Call MsgBox(Cell.Alignment)

You will be able to see the order of execution and understand when exactly it fails

The issue appears to start right after inserting the column headers.

I have the following error: "Object doesnt support this property or method: 'Cell Alignment'."

It throws that error in the msgbox line that you suggested.

Thanks,

Maybe it can't align something that is not populated?  looks like this function runs at initialization, how about using Alignment property only when cells have been initialized/populated?
