Steps to Reproduce:	« Hide Steps to reproduce: 1. Run attached swf, observe difference between DataGrid and AdvancedDataGrid. (demo derived from a sample app at http://flexpearls.blogspot.com/2007/07/customizing-headers-in-dgadg.html) Best I know this worked in Flex 3 beta 2 (or at least the default horizontal text alignment for ADG column headers had been "left" ), I changed my DataGrid and DataGridColumn components to their Advanced counterparts when we were using Flex 3 beta 2 and this appeared to have worked; I never delivered that change and now that we've upgraded to Flex 3 beta 3 and I attempt to re-apply this change the column headers are all centered and I don't seem to be able to alter that, while I can with the DataGrid component in Flex 3 Beta 3. The attached files provide a simple demonstration. Both the grids on the page are using the same styles applied to their headerStyleName attributes Actual Results: ADG's headers always centered DG's headers horizontally aligned as expected as specified by their styles Expected Results: Both should be the same Workaround (if any): PS: Comment on this bug reporting form: While there IS a Component: DataGrid in the bug form's Component/s field there is no Component: AdvancedDataGrid Show » Steps to reproduce: 1.

Sending to IRB. Deferrable.

This is not a bug.

Unlike DataGrid, AdvancedDataGrid allows user to align the header text both horizontally and vertically. So, we are supposed to use "verticalAlign" & "horizontalAlign" styles for ADG.

Please see the attached sample for more details.

The docs for AdvancedDataGridColumn I find via http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/flex3/langref/index.html shows textAlign (smae a DataGridColumn) as a style for AdvancedDataGridColumn but there's no mention of "verticalAlign" & "horizontalAlign" styles there.

Where does one obtain the list of the supported styles for ADG vs DG?

Thanks

@Alex, actually there's a mentions of the horizontalAlign and verticalAlign properties in the doc here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/advancedDataGridClasses/AdvancedDataGridHeaderRenderer.html#styleSummary

@Srinivas, it seems there's a much more great new features in the ADG, which only partially described on this page: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=advdatagrid_02.html

Maybe it makes sense to make more complete list of changes / additions in the ADG for quick reference and refer to it from the mentioned page?

And it might make sense to support the 'old' textAlign property in the ADG header, just to avoid this confusion with developers who used textAlign with DG and will try to use with AGD (as Alex and me did)?
