Hi Pavan,

Unfortunately, we do not have a provision for column group header alignment.

But, I would suggest a work around solution,

• Take a snap shot of group header cell background and edit the image with the group header text as below

    

• Now, create the mime object in the WD component and user the mime object name for the property IMAGE SOURCE of column group caption ui element
• The output would be as below

    

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Rama

@Kiran: i tried that option but dint work out for me. It was removing the blank spaces when displaying.

@ Ramakrishnappa.. Yeah, it is very unfortunate that SAP has not provided such a simple feature. Thanks for the Suggestion. Just to add to ur comments, we can also use the standard icon ICON_SPACE and pass it to image source to get blank space for aligning the Header Text.

Hi,

Did you directly entered the text in the text property of the header caption like below? If so it will not work, if not which version you are on!

You have to bind the text to an attribute and then set the text with spaces in coding. I have tried it and it's working. here is the reference:

Hi,

There is no property for header text to align in center. One option is bind the text to an attribute in context of type string and then set the text in WDDOINIT method by inserting some leading space.

lv_text = '         Header '.  " give spaces as required till it appears at center.

then bind this to the header text.

hope this helps,
