Cell padding

To apply Cell Padding, you have to set the Left and Right properties of the TextMargins in the Grid PrepareViewStyleInfo/QueryCellStyleInfo event handler.

//Event triggered to apply CellPadding.
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControlPrepareViewStyleInfo += gridGroupingControl1_TableControlPrepareViewStyleInfo;

void gridGroupingControl1_TableControlPrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridTableControlPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.Inner.ColIndex == 2 && e.Inner.RowIndex == 4)
   {
      e.Inner.Style.TextMargins.Left =25;
   }

   if (e.Inner.ColIndex == 1 && e.Inner.RowIndex == 5)
   {
      e.Inner.Style.TextMargins.Right = 20;
   }
}

'Event triggered to apply CellPadding.
AddHandler Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableControlPrepareViewStyleInfo, AddressOf gridGroupingControl1_TableControlPrepareViewStyleInfo

Private Sub gridGroupingControl1_TableControlPrepareViewStyleInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridTableControlPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs)
   If e.Inner.ColIndex = 2 AndAlso e.Inner.RowIndex = 4 Then
      e.Inner.Style.TextMargins.Left =25
   End If

   If e.Inner.ColIndex = 1 AndAlso e.Inner.RowIndex = 5 Then
      e.Inner.Style.TextMargins.Right = 20
   End If
End Sub
