Adding a AutoSlice to ProviceSlice in GridView force the Aligment to be Center even when specified otherwise?

Hi,

I have a ProvideSlice :

private void ProvideSlice(int sliceIndex, GridView gridView, ref GridSlice2D gridSlice)
{
     gridSlice.AutoLayout.Spacing = 20;
     gridSlice.AutoLayout.Alignment = (int) HorizontalAlignment.Left;
}

That gives me this :

I wish the the Grid to shrink to it's X size because I want my Grid Items to control the width of my grid. So I add this :

private void ProvideSlice(int sliceIndex, GridView gridView, ref GridSlice2D gridSlice)\
{
     gridSlice.AutoLayout.Spacing = 20;
     gridSlice.AutoLayout.Alignment = (int) HorizontalAlignment.Left;
     gridSlice.Layout.AutoSize.X = AutoSize.Shrink;
}

However, the alignment is not Centered. Why is that?

Thank you!

Any idea?

The grid slices are likely center-aligned themselves on the X axis. Because they were previously filling the GridView on X it wasn't noticeable originally, but it is now that they shrink to their content size. Does doing something like this get you the layout you're going for?

private void ProvideSlice(int sliceIndex, GridView gridView, ref GridSlice2D gridSlice)
{
     gridSlice.AutoLayout.Spacing = 20;
     gridSlice.AutoLayout.Alignment = (int) HorizontalAlignment.Left;
     gridSlice.Layout.AutoSize.X = AutoSize.Shrink;

     // add this
     gridSlice.Layout.Alignment.X = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
}
