If a column with the Edit or EditMask edit style contains character data that is too long for the display column in the DataWindow, the data is truncated. You can choose to display an ellipsis at the end of the truncated data in Windows Forms applications. To do so, set the UseEllipsis property to True in the Behavior category in the Properties window or specify the UseEllipsis DataWindow object property in code:
dw1.Modify("col1.Edit.UseEllipsis=Yes") dw1.Modify("col1.EditMask.UseEllipsis=Yes")
For displayed text, if the end of the string does not fit in the rectangle, it is truncated and the ellipsis is displayed. The ellipsis does not display when the column has focus.
The property is ignored if you:
Set the HeightAutoSize property to True in the Properties window or set the Height.Autosize property in code.
Specify an expression for the Font Escapement property in the Properties window to rotate the text or set the Font.Escapement property in code.
The UseEllipsis DataWindow object property is not supported in ASP.NET applications.
