Remarks

Set the AllowEllipsisInText property to true to automatically truncate cell texts if they don’t fit into the cell width. To indicate that the text is clipped, the control displays an ellipsis (‘…’).

Note

  • For multi-line text cells, the grid displays cells on one line, truncates their texts and displays ellipsis symbol if the AllowEllipsisInText property is set to true.
  • Specify widths for the grid columns if the AllowEllipsisInText property is set to true as the grid uses the fixed table layout in this case.

Example

WebForms:

<dx:ASPxGridView runat="server" Width="100%" ID="ASPxGridView1" ClientInstanceName="sampleGrid" ...>
    <SettingsBehavior AllowEllipsisInText="true"/>
    ...
</dx:ASPxGridView>

MVC:

@Html.DevExpress().GridView(settings => {
    settings.Name = "GridView";
    ...
    settings.SettingsBehavior.AllowEllipsisInText = true;
    ...
}).Bind(Model).GetHtml()
