I'm using the grid in IE7 and the cells don't seem to honor the text-overflow property (which it looks like the grid sets automatically in some of its output). For instance, I have a column that displays a person's full name with Width="150". When my cell has the name "PENDLETON, JEANETTE", only "PENDLETON," appears in the grid. Obviously, if the column is resized larger, the entire name shows up.

What I would like to see before the column is resized larger is something like "PENDLETON, JEAN..." or PENDLETON, JEANET" truncated mid-word. Specifying CssText="text-overflow: ellipsis" in the CellStyle doesn't seem to work either. Thoughts?

Hi,

Thanks for posting in the forum. That doesn't seem to be supported for now. Ideally it should automatically display it like "PENDLETON, JEAN...". We will see what we can do with it.

Thanks

Hi, is there any news yet on the truncated issue? I (that is my developer) have the same problem with the EO grid. We have some entries that are much longer than the average for that column. We would therefore not only like to have some form of truncation but even a "tooltip when truncated". A lot of (mail) applications have that, so it must be not that difficult?????

PS apart from this little issue, I really like the grid!!

Hi,

The issue itself is not very difficult to implement. However it is still not implemented because we are concern about the balance between performance and features. Basically the more features we add, the more the performance suffers. We are constantly optimizing our Grid, so hopefully we will be able to get it a certain point where we can comfortably add these additional features. Sorry about that!

Thanks
