Can't get trimming to work in ShapeNode

Good day,

I 'm trying to get an ellipsis a the end of the text when it doesn't fit in the bounds.

For that I'm doing
Code
Select All
box.TextFormat.Trimming = StringTrimming.EllipsisCharacter

but I don't get the ellipsis to show.
I did a search and found a post about the same thing but in table cell. I have tried to set
Code
Select All
 EnableStyledText =false

but that didn't help.

What am I doing wrong?

Try also setting PolygonalTextLayout = false.

Thanks! This indeed works now.  Smiley

As an additional question I was wondering if there's an easy way to know if the text is trimmed. I'm using the box as a label and I would like to set a tooltip to it containing the full text, but only when the text is trimmed.

You could use the Diagram.MeasureString method to check if the string is larger than node.Bounds. I'm not sure how it will work with text wrapping enabled though. The override that takes maxWidth argument might be useful in such case.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan
