Truncate Text In Grid Cell

I have an SFDataGrid that is automatically populated:

<Grid:SfDataGrid Name="DataGrid" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="4" Grid.RowSpan="2" Margin="10,10,10,0" ColumnSizer="SizeToHeader"
                         AutoGenerateColumns="True" ItemsSource="{Binding Positions}"
                         Background="#FF131313" Foreground="#FF1F46AE" AlternatingRowStyle="{StaticResource alternatingRowStyle}" AlternationCount="2" AllowResizingColumns="True" AllowDraggingColumns="True"
                         CellStyle="{StaticResource customCellStyle}"  FontSize="8">
                <Grid:SfDataGrid.DataContext>
                    <local:ScreensDataGridViewModel/>
                </Grid:SfDataGrid.DataContext>
            </Grid:SfDataGrid>

The text in each cell is wrapped, which causes the row height to change.  I wish to have it so that if the text does not fit within the cell it is truncated and therefore row height is always static.

Hi David, 
 
You can achieve your requirement for increase the height of the row based on the cell value by using QueryRowHeight event,

Sadly this is the opposite of what I want.  What you suggest will either increase the row height (which I want to avoid), or force me to micro manage each row's height based on the content of every cell in that row.

All I wish to do is truncate the text if it does not fit in the cell (avoid text wrapping).

I.e. if the cell is able to fit 20 characters, and the string is 30 characters long, the string will be truncated to be 20 characters long.

Hi David, 
 
You can achieve your requirement for truncate the text if the text not fit in the cell by setting the TextWrapping as NoWrap for columns, 
 
<syncfusion:GridTextColumn MappingName="Name" TextWrapping="NoWrap" />

Hello,

Thank you for getting back to me.

I'm not sure the suggestion you made will work when I am using AutoGenerateColumns="True' (as I do not know the names of the columns).

I tried to set it programmatically in C# on the DataGrid.Columns[0] object, but it does not have a TextWrapping field.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you.

Hi David,  
  
Your requirement can be achieved by using the AutoGeneratingColumn event like below, 
  
this.sfGrid.AutoGeneratingColumn += SfGrid_AutoGeneratingColumn; 
 
private void SfGrid_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, AutoGeneratingColumnArgs e) 
{ 
    if (e.Column.MappingName == "Name") 
        (e.Column as GridTextColumn).TextWrapping = TextWrapping.NoWrap; 
}

Sweet, that works.  I was expecting more of just a generic tag that auto applies everywhere but this works good enough.

Thank you.
