How to achieve Excel like text alignment in WinForms GridControl?

By default, text alignment in WinForms GridControl is right-aligned for both alphabetic and numeric values. To achieve Excel-like alignment, use the ExcelLikeAlignment property. With this setting, string values are aligned to the left and numeric values are aligned to the right within each cell, matching Excel’s default behavior.

C#

this.gridControl1.ExcelLikeAlignment = true;

VB

Me.GridControl1.ExcelLikeAlignment = True
