no ellipsis

Hi, I have GBDG where i want ellipsis in a couple of rows. so i copied the cellbuttons demo ellipsiscell.cs into my project and added the following lines: GridBoundColumnsCollection gbcc = this.gridHierDataBoundGrid1.Binder.InternalColumns; this.gridHierDataBoundGrid1.Model.CellModels.Remove("EllipsisText"); this.gridHierDataBoundGrid1.Model.CellModels.Add("EllipsisText", new EllipsisCellModel(this.gridHierDataBoundGrid1.Model)); gbcc["WorkOrder"].StyleInfo.CellType = "EllipsisText"; gbcc["WorkOrder"].StyleInfo.CellValueType = typeof(Int64); now the button draws but not the ellipsis inside the buttons. is this because of a gridcontrol/GBDG difference? thanks

btw i did copy browse.bmp too and set it to embedded resource.

This is likely a namespace problem. Check this line in your code from the EllipsisCell.cs (or EllipsisCell.vb) file.. iconPainter = new GridIconPaint("CellButtons.", typeof(EllipsisCellButton).Assembly); The "CellButtons." listed there should be changed to the namespace for your project (where the resources are embedded). If you are using VB, then you need to open the projects properties to see the name of the default namespace.

right on perfect thanks!
