<DefaultValue(DefaultBoolean.Default)>
Public Property AllowEllipsisInText As DefaultBoolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	One of the DefaultBoolean enumeration values.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

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

Note

Enabling the AllowEllipsisInText property changes the display of multi-line text cells: cells are displayed on one line, their texts are truncated and text truncation is indicated with ellipsis symbols.

If the AllowEllipsisInText property is set to Default, the text truncation availability is controlled by the ASPxGridBehaviorSettings.AllowEllipsisInText property.
