Why doesn't cell text alignment doesn't work in DataGridView in C#?

I want to make an input box and I have a DataGridView. But it does't work to align the text content of headers or cells.

My code to create DataGridView at runtime:

DataGridView CreateInputBox(int proc,int mac)
        {
            DataGridView databox = new DataGridView();
            for (int i = 0; i < mac; i++)
            {
                databox.Columns.Add("col" + i, "M" + i);
                databox.Columns[i].DefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;
            }
            for (int i = 0; i < proc; i++)
            {
                databox.Rows.Add();
            }
            databox.AutoSize = true;
            databox.AutoSizeColumnsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.AllCells;
            return databox;
        }

The result:

enter image description here

So how can I do the alignment for the header and cells?

The code above is only to center the cells foreach column but not the header of each column.

Try to add this line in your "for" :

databox.Columns[i].HeaderCell.Style.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;

If I understood correctly, the answer is here: Right align a column in datagridview doesn't work

And the problem is in the Sorting as when it’s enabled the DataGrid reserves some place for a sort glyph. So if you disable the sorting it should work as you expect:

this.DataGridView1.Columns[0].SortMode = DataGridViewColumnSortMode.NotSortable;

Adding this as an answer so everybody who will get here in the future will easily find the way to resolve the problem.
