So, the header data is rendered with an instance of a 
TableViewHeaderDataRenderer (by default), which itself is a subclass of BoxPane 
and contains an Image and a Label component as children.  There are two 
relatively easy ways to center things:
1. Get the default header data renderer and set the horizontal alignment style 
to "center".
2. Subclass the default TableViewHeaderDataRenderer yourself and set the style 
in your constructor, then set this modified renderer as the header data 
renderer on the TableView.

If you need actual code for either of these methods, I could do that, but 
thought you might want to take a crack yourself....

In general, using one of these two methods works for (almost?) all rendering 
type issues in Pivot (things like changing alignment, wrapping, increasing 
padding, or spacing, or setting special attributes on text).  All the default 
renderers are just made up of simple containers and components, but which 
implement the specific "render" method needed for the component.  If you look 
at the source code for any of these *Renderer.java files you should be able to 
see what I mean.

The third option is to implement a completely new renderer on your own and set 
it as the renderer on your object.  I've never found that to be necessary, 
personally, but it could be done.  Almost always you can either subclass the 
default implementation (and you usually just have to write a custom constructor 
and set some styles or attributes there), or you can just get the default 
instance and do the same thing in your own code.

Subject: How to set alignment of TableView

Hi

I created a table view that looks like this:

<StackPane>
        <TableView bxml:id="tableView" selectMode="multi"
styles="{showHorizontalGridLines:true,
includeTrailingVerticalGridLine:true}">
            <columns>
                <TableView.Column name="rowid" width="100" headerData="Row ID"/>
                <TableView.Column name="customer" width="100"
headerData="Customer"/>
                <TableView.Column name="product" width="100"
headerData="Product"/>
            </columns>
        </TableView>
    </StackPane>

However, the tltle of each column is by default left aligned. How can I change 
the alignment of a table column name and column data?

Thank you very much.
