  Hi,

  I’m working on an app which uses many instances of C1DataGrid in numerous forms and UserControls. The entire styling and templating is implemented with ResourceDictionaries. I’m trying to enable TextTrimming for C1DataGridTextColumns (and display ToolTips if TextTrimming occurs), tried everything I could think of, but ran out of ideas.

  What’s the correct way to enable this globally (from the style definitions in my ResourceDictionary)?

  Thanks and best regards,
  
  G

  Hello Gregor,

  Changing the TextTrimming property for DataGridTextColumn by style is not possible. You can, however, achieve the same by code.
  
  Let me know if you are fine with a solution using the code-behind approach.

  Hi Ruchir,

  A code-behind solution would only work, if it can be implemented globally from a centralized location (e.g. the code-behind in a resource dictionary).

  Calling a method from every single form or usercontrol sounds even more painful than manually assigning the property where needed.

  If you have a working sample, please post it here so I can review it and apply it to my project, if applicable.

  Thanks,
  
  G
