  Hello support-team,

  I noticed a problem in the FlexGrid control that does not allow to set the text-alignment when using VisualStyles Custom or System.

  Normally in the built-in Office-VisualStyles the column is left-aligned. However, as soon as the VisualStyle is set to Custom or System, only right-aligned is possible.

  Attached is a small example program for this.

  Kind regards

  Hi Lars,

  a workaround would be to set the TextAlign of the “Normal” style:

  
  Me.C1FlexGrid1.Styles.Normal.TextAlign = C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.TextAlignEnum.LeftCenter
  
  

  Seems like a bug to me. Now it is up to the C1 support to comment on this.

  But I suggest not to use the VisualStyles. They were removed in the .NET 5 version of C1FlexGrid. The suggested replacement is “C1ThemeController”.

  Best regards

  Wolfgang

  Hi Wolfgang,

  thank you for your advice.

  You also answer another question for me, namely whether the VisualStyles will still exist in the future. We have currently replaced the Classic Ribbon with the new control and this question came up, because it doesn’t really fit together anymore.

  We have also played with the C1ThemeController and assigned different styles. In my opinion, however, none is really 100% successful. Therefore, for the time being, we stick with the normal and businesslike style of the new ribbon control, which feels like the best compromise between legible contrast and design.

  Many greetings
  
  Lars

  Hi Lars,

  We have escalated the issue to the development team and will let you know when we have an update.

  We would also like to suggest you use C1Theme instead of VisualStyle as it has been removed starting from NET5. If you face any issues, just let us know.
