How to set vertical text in the column headers of WPF DataGrid?
c#, wpf, wpfdatagrid
Solution
This will rotate the whole ColumnHeaderCell:
<DataGrid.ColumnHeaderStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridColumnHeader}">
<Setter Property="LayoutTransform">
<Setter.Value>
<RotateTransform Angle="270" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</DataGrid.ColumnHeaderStyle>
Be aware: this means `HorizontalContentAlignment` is then a `VerticalContentAlignment` and vice versa.
Problem
Well, actually rotated -90 degrees from horizontal is what I mean. I need to do this because the text for the header is quite long but the cell value is short, and I want to fit a lot of columns on the screen. Is it possible to do this easily or do I need to learn about resources and templates first? I don't mind a "hack" solution!
