Hi is there a way to apply a kind of MaxLength on a GridBoundColumn?
Lest assume you have a very long text like this one

Go to http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/dataediting/usercontroleditform/defaultcs.aspx
Edit any row.
Paste the text above in the text fields and then click update.
How can we avoid displaying such long lines and breaking the grid?
Is there any mechanism that will display the first x characters followed by ...
ie : Andrew_received_his ...
thanks
Pierre

Hi Pierre,
Tables normally expand horizontally to fint their content, but you can enforce a column width if you set TableLayout="Fixed" to the MasterTableView. In this way the data, which does not fit and cannot be wrapper to multiple lines, will be clipped by the browser. If you want to display it, you can use a RadToolTip:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/tooltip/examples/targetcontrolsandajax/defaultcs.aspx?product=grid
Note that column widths must be set with HeaderStyle-Width, not ItemStyle-Width.
Also, when you set TableLayout="Fixed", all columns, which do not have an esplicit width, will become equally wide.
