DocumentManager - Tabbed View - How to trim header caption text

created 10 years ago

Hi,

We would like toindicate to our users that a tab header caption was shortened. At the momentthe caption is just cut.

Is there already anoption to show these captions with 3 dots "…" if they are to long forthe specified tab width? If not could you indroduce such an option?

Thanks a lot,
Matthias

Hello,
For this, specify the tab width for a document using the TabWidthproperty. You can find it here:
TabbedView.DocumentProperties;
TabbedView.DocumentGroupProperties;
Document.Properties.
Then, enable trimming for a document header caption using the Appearance.Header.TextOptions' Trimming property.

For instance:

C#
document.Properties.TabWidth = 100;  
document.Appearance.Header.Options.UseTextOptions = true;  
document.Appearance.Header.TextOptions.Trimming = DevExpress.Utils.Trimming.EllipsisCharacter;

Please try this approach and let me know if you have further questions.
