Centering grid column text

Hi guys,

I've got one particular column in a grid in which I want to center the text. The ControlSource is a 25 byte character field, but contains text of variable length (0-25 chrs). When there are only a few characters (e.g. 5) the right padding in the table needs to be stripped away so the item will center properly. But the grid ControlSource property will not accept the ALLTR(CharStr).

How can I accomplish this?

TIA

Set the FORMAT property of the column to "T" (Trim leading trailing blanks).

Many thanks, Volker. That's just what I needed.
