How to change horizontal alignment of column names in UITable

I know I can use the uistyle function to change the horizontal alignment of text of each cell of an UITable. But I am struggling to change the alignment of column names. I want the column names to be 'centered' but they are always aligned 'left'.

I have 2 code examples with a little bit different behaviour.

Example A

d = {'Male',52,true;'Male',40,true;'Female',25,false};
f=figure;
uit=uitable(f);
uit.Data = d;

Example B

d = {'Male',52,true;'Male',40,true;'Female',25,false};
f=uifigure;
uit=uitable(f);
uit.Data = d;

In example A I always get a table with centered column names, in example B I always get a table with column names left aligned. In both examples I don't know how to change the alignment. But I only need a solution for example B because in my new work I have to use uifigures instead of figures.

Use uistyle to add alignment to the uitable -

d = {'Male',52,true;'Male',40,true;'Female',25,false};
f = uifigure;
uit = uitable(f);
uit.Data = d;
s = uistyle('HorizontalAlignment','center');
addStyle(uit,s,'table','')

with uistyle it is possible to change the alignment of the "normal" cells of the table but the alignment of the column names remains "left"

[Dyuman Joshi]

Center justification of uitable column names is not possible.

There is a workaround which you can try - Refer to this Answer

Thanks for the hint to this workaround. I have just read it and I think this will work but I haven't tried it yet.

And thanks for investigating my problems.
