TextTrimming on XamTextEditor
posted

Hi everybody.

 

I'm trying to make the text appear trimmed with ellipsis in text fields.

Adding the following style ao app / page / grid resources had no effect:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type igEditors:XamTextEditor}">
   <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
   <Setter Property="TextBlock.TextTrimming" Value="CharacterEllipsis" />
</Style>

 

Does anyone know how ti achieve it?

 

Many thanks,

Yaakov

     OK, found a solution:

     <Style TargetType="{x:Type igEditors:XamTextEditor}">
       <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />

     <Setter Property="Template">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type igEditors:XamTextEditor}">
                        <Border x:Name="MainBorder"
                            Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
                            BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
                            BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
                            SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"
                             >
                            <!-- SSP 10/3/07 BR25672 Took the following code out of Border element above since
                                        the TextBlock below is already setting that value. We don't want to substract
                                        the padding twice.
                                Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"-->
                            <TextBlock x:Name="TextBlock"
                                Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
                                Text="{TemplateBinding DisplayText}"
                                TextWrapping="{TemplateBinding TextWrapping}"

                                TextTrimming="CharchterEllipsis"

                               HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
                                VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
                                TextAlignment="{TemplateBinding TextAlignmentResolved}"
                              />
                        </Border>
                        <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                            <Trigger Property="IsEmbedded" Value="False">
                                <Setter TargetName="MainBorder" Property="CornerRadius" Value="1" />
                            </Trigger>
                        </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                    </ControlTemplate>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
    </Style>

     The template was taken from "C:\Program Files\Infragistics\NetAdvantage for WPF (Express) 2008 Vol. 2\DefaultStyles\Editors\EditorsGeneric_Express.xaml".
