Hello Palen,

Thank you for posting.

The content of the cell is set in a TextBlock. You can set a style for the TextBlock and set its TextTrimming property’s value to CharacterEllipsis so that the text is displayed as “Someth…”.

<Style x:Key="NewTextBlock" TargetType="TextBlock">

            <Setter Property="TextTrimming" Value="CharacterEllipsis"/>

        </Style>

This style should be applied as TextBlockStyle of the TextColumn where you want the text to be displayed with ellipsis.

<ig:XamGrid.Columns>

                <ig:TextColumn Key="Description" TextBlockStyle="{StaticResource NewTextBlock}">

                </ig:TextColumn>

            </ig:XamGrid.Columns>

Another approach for achieving this is handling CellControlAttached event of the XamGrid, searching the visual tree for a TextBlock and set its TextTrimming property to CharacterEllipsis.

private void xamGrid1_CellControlAttached(object sender, Infragistics.Controls.Grids.CellControlAttachedEventArgs e)

        {

            TextBlock text = Utilities.GetDescendantFromType(e.Cell.Control, typeof(TextBlock), false) as TextBlock;

            if (text != null)

            {

                text.TextTrimming = TextTrimming.CharacterEllipsis;

            }

        }

Please let me know if you have any other questions on the matter.
