Alignment for column names in uitables in App Designer

Hello,

I am struggling about making the alingment of column names. I want them to be positioned as center. I know how to do this for elements inside the table, but I could not figure out how to apply same thing for column names as well. Has anybody faced and solved this problem?

Regards,

Hello Cakmak,

how you align elements inside the table in center?

[Eduardo Vicente Wolf Trentini]

My table is called app.UITable

s = uistyle('HorizontalAlignment','center');
addStyle(app.UITable,s,'table','');

Hi,

I have heard that this issue is known and the concerned parties may be investigating further.

Meanwhile an indirect workaround that you might try is to have another table with one row (without column header) and place it on top of your main table as its column header. You can apply uistyle to align the contents in the second table with only one row, which can be further used as column header in your main table.

Hope this helps!

Hi I am also struggling with this. Is there a fix to this yet?

See this answer that shows how to move the header strings into the first row of data and format the uitable so that it appears to have header names.

I have to say that is workaround is quite insufficient. if a table is part of an App and is changed interactively this complicates the code, sometimes siginifantly. Hope this issue will be fixed in upcoming releases.
