Writing right to left in cell of datagridview

Question

 if (e.ColumnIndex == 1 && e.RowIndex >= 0)
            {
                e.PaintBackground(e.CellBounds, true);
                TextRenderer.DrawText(e.Graphics, e.FormattedValue.ToString(),
                e.CellStyle.Font, e.CellBounds, e.CellStyle.ForeColor,
                 TextFormatFlags.RightToLeft | TextFormatFlags.Right);
                e.Handled = true;
            }

the above is the code , i am using inside the cellpaint event to right align the text but the problem is it is aligning the text inside the cell after i finish editing the cell .

so i tried using

          //  this.Columns[0].DefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleRight;

but it gives me a run time error as initially my datagridview does not have any data . it is blank on load

I want that it should starts typing from the right to left mode (while being in editing mode) . Is it possible for a datagridview control to have such thing .

thanks in advance .

Will this work?

private void dataGridView1_EditingControlShowing(object sender, DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs e) {
    var dgv = (DataGridView)sender;
    if (dgv.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex == 1 && dgv.CurrentCell.RowIndex >= 0) {
        var tbox = (TextBox)e.Control;
        tbox.RightToLeft = RightToLeft.Yes;
        tbox.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Right;
    }
}
