Grid Column No Wrap + Ellipsis

[Erwin]

Hello Everyone,

I Have a problem regarding a particular Grid Column.
I have a grid with many column. One Column is called "Description". In this column there is a posibility that the string is too long that it would wrap.

I already look this tutorial: "No wrap for grid cell content"  and my column did not wrap.
I also added

<style type="text/css">

 

.MasterTable_WebBlue td

{

overflow:hidden;

}

.GridHeader_WebBlue

{

overflow: hidden;

}

 

</style>

My problem now is that i need to display an Ellipsis "..."  on that column only.
I need to display ... before the string ends.

 

 

 

or 

Is there a way to dispaly "..." after a certain number of character?

Hi Erwin,

The following code will help you to add ellipsis to cell text if its length overcomes a certain number of character.

C#:

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            if (item["City"].Text.Length > 4)
            {
                item["City"].ToolTip = item["City"].Text.ToString(); // Set the Tooltip
                item["City"].Text = (item["City"].Text).Substring(0, 5) + "...";
            }
        }
    }

Hope this helps,
Shinu.
