I have a grid, where cells contain textblock. I want to add some padding to the text in the cells (to move them inline with the header texts), but it has no effect.

XAML:

<dg2d:DataGrid2DT.CellStyle>
    <Style TargetType="wpftoolkit:DataGridCell">
        <Setter Property="TextBlock.TextAlignment" Value="Left" />
        <Setter Property="TextBlock.Padding" Value="4, 4, 4, 4" />
        <Setter Property="TextBlock.VerticalAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
        <Setter Property="TextBlock.HorizontalAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
        <Style.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightBlue"/>
            </Trigger>
        </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
</dg2d:DataGrid2DT.CellStyle>

Whatever I set in the padding, it's always the same, see:

Why Padding does not work here?

are you sure you need padding here and not margin ? – Muds Jul 09 '15 at 09:57
Have you tried `Padding` instead of `TextBlock.Padding`? – Mike Eason Jul 09 '15 at 09:59
@Muds, no margin will make space outside of the control, see: http://oi62.tinypic.com/2ylaiis.jpg – Zoli Jul 09 '15 at 12:53
@MikeEason: using `Padding` has also no any effect. – Zoli Jul 09 '15 at 12:54
