Hi,
I'm using a UltraCombo (.Appearance.TextTrimming = EllipsisCharacter, .DropdownStyle= DropDownList)and it shows ellipsis when dropdown is closed and text doesn't fit in the control. But, I would (of course)also like it to display a tool tip with the whole text when ellipsis are displayed.
Am I missing something obvious or is it not possible without coding something on my own?
Regards-tomas.
Hi Tomas,
There's nothing built-in to UltraCombo for this.The UltraComboEditor, however, has a property called ShowOverfloarIndicator that I think does what you want. So if you don't need multiple columns in the dropdown, you might want to consider using that, instead.
If that doesn't work, then you would have to use your own tooltip.
I need multiple columns (it's a really nice feature) in some places, so that's no option for me.
Is there a simple way to find out when ellipsis are displayed, or do I have to measure the text myself to see if they fit or not?
If you need multiple columns, then you would have to measure the text yourself, unfortunately.
You should Submit a feature request to Infragistics. Perhaps the OverflowIndicator will be added to WinCombo in the future.
