DataGrid Cell Padding not being applied

[jimbobsmith]

Hi. I've noticed when creating a cell style, the padding property is not being applied. If this is by design, please delete this ticket. Otherwise, to do this I simply template bound the ContentPresenter's margin to padding.

<ContentPresenter SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"
     VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
     Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
...

MOD EDIT: Please surround code in ```s. ~@Amrykid

I am not sure if this is by design. Could you show us a picture showing the behavior?

This is what i get when i set a cell style with padding:

The xaml is:

 <Style x:Key="CellStyleWithPadding" TargetType="DataGridCell" >
                <Setter Property="Padding" Value="10"/>
            </Style>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </Window.Resources>
    <Grid>
        <DataGrid x:Name="DataGrid"
                  AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                  CellStyle="{StaticResource CellStyleWithPadding}">
            <DataGrid.Columns>
                <DataGridTextColumn Header="Name" Binding="{Binding Name}"/>
                <DataGridTextColumn Header="Last Name" Binding="{Binding LastName}"/>
                <DataGridTextColumn Header="Age" Binding="{Binding Age}"/>
            </DataGrid.Columns>
        </DataGrid>
    </Grid>

When I rewrite the cell template, I get:

and the xaml for this is:

            <Style  x:Key="CellStyleWithPadding" TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}" 
                    BasedOn="{StaticResource MetroDataGridCell}" >
                <Setter Property="Padding" Value="10"/>
                <Setter Property="Template">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
                            <Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
                                    BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
                                    Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
                                    SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}">
                                <ContentPresenter SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"
                                          VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
                                          Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"                                          
                                          HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" />
                            </Border>
                        </ControlTemplate>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
            </Style>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </Window.Resources>
    <Grid>
        <DataGrid x:Name="DataGrid"
                  AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                  CellStyle="{StaticResource CellStyleWithPadding}">
            <DataGrid.Columns>
                <DataGridTextColumn Header="Name" Binding="{Binding Name}"/>
                <DataGridTextColumn Header="Last Name" Binding="{Binding LastName}"/>
                <DataGridTextColumn Header="Age" Binding="{Binding Age}"/>
            </DataGrid.Columns>
        </DataGrid>
    </Grid>

@jimbobsmith here is an example after #1393

<Style x:Key="CellStyleWithPadding"
       TargetType="DataGridCell"
       BasedOn="{StaticResource MetroDataGridCell}">
    <Setter Property="Padding"
            Value="10" />
</Style>

<DataGrid x:Name="DataGrid"
          AutoGenerateColumns="False"
          MinRowHeight="25"
          RowHeight="NaN"
          CellStyle="{StaticResource CellStyleWithPadding}">
    <DataGrid.Columns>
        <DataGridTextColumn Header="Name" Binding="{Binding Name}"/>
        <DataGridTextColumn Header="Last Name" Binding="{Binding LastName}"/>
        <DataGridTextColumn Header="Age" Binding="{Binding Age}"/>
    </DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
