Wanted: 1 column only showing part of string

[Maurice]

Hi,

I have a grid with a remarks column in which I want to be able to edit the complete multiline datafield. I have this working with 

[DataType(DataType.MultilineText)]

 

But I only want to show 3 lines and not the complete text. If I go into edit mode the complete text should be visible of course

A nice to have would be if it is dynamic, so if I change the size of the column the text also changes. 

I have attached two pictures with what I want.

Hi Maurice,

If you would like to show ellipsis when there is a long text in the Grid you can use the approach suggested in the following thread.

As for showing the ellipsis with multi-line text, note that such feature is not available in HTML our ot the box. Thus, I would recommend to keep the text only on one line and add couple of CSS lines to show ellipsis.
