Hi Stewart,

The dgColumnAlignment property is not handled in case you have a
custom behavior.
You have to manage it yourself in the column behavior script.

The layoutControl event could be a good place for this:

on layoutControl
     set the textAlign of field 1 of me to "right"
end layoutControl

Untested but should work.



Best regards,
