Hi Pete,

- The dgColumnAlignment is a column property which directly affected a
control in the default template for a datagrid. It is an equivalent
for setting the alignment property of the template field.
- The second is the dgColumnEditable property which allows or not the
edition of the default template field.

The way for customizing the template and the column behavior script,
offers great possibilities to developers, far away that managing a
simple field in the column. If one customizes a column, the datagrid
library just assumes one have replaced the default template field by 1
or several controls. So, the developers have and can manage those
controls the way they want, for example:
- by setting the alignment of the control (the field or whatever other
control we could have added in the template)
- by setting the effect they want for a non-editable column: lock the
field, disable a menu button or button, etc.


Best regards,
