How to: Enable Text Trimming
This example demonstrates the usage and effects of the values available in the xref:System.Windows.TextTrimming enumeration.
Example
The following example defines a xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock element with the xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock.TextTrimming%2A attribute set.
[!code-xamlTextTrimmingSnippets#_TextTrimmingXAML]
Setting the corresponding xref:System.Windows.TextTrimming property in code is demonstrated below.
[!code-csharpTextTrimmingSnippets#_TextTrimmingSetTextTrimming] [!code-vbTextTrimmingSnippets#_TextTrimmingSetTextTrimming]
There are currently three options for trimming text: CharacterEllipsis, WordEllipsis, and None.
When xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock.TextTrimming%2A is set to CharacterEllipsis, text is trimmed and continued with an ellipsis at the character closest to the trimming edge. This setting tends to trim text to fit more closely to the trimming boundary, but may result in words being partially trimmed. The following figure shows the effect of this setting on a xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock similar to the one defined above.
When xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock.TextTrimming%2A is set to WordEllipsis, text is trimmed and continued with an ellipsis at the end of the first full word closest to the trimming edge. This setting will not show partially trimmed words, but tends not to trim text as closely to the trimming edge as the CharacterEllipsis setting. The following figure shows the effect of this setting on the xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock defined above.
When xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock.TextTrimming%2A is set to None, no text trimming is performed. In this case, text is simply cropped to the boundary of the parent text container. The following figure shows the effect of this setting on a xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock similar to the one defined above.
