Excel style ### contents for too large values

[Administrator]

I have a GridControl containing some numeric columns and I want them to display ### if the preferred width of the cell is greater than the width of the column (like excel does).

The calculations of preferred width and current with are no problem, but is there an easy way of setting the displayed text for the cell to ### while keeping the real numeric value in the cellvalue?

Thanks,

Guy

Yep, works like a charm. Thanks for the swift response! By the way, do I need to cache the GdipFont returned from the syncfusion font or is it cached internally? >Hi Guy, > >See if this thread answers your question. > >Thanks, >Stanley

Hi Guy,

Sorry, I missed reading your question earlier. It is cached internally, please refer Essential Suite\Windows\Grid.Windows\Src\Base\Styles\GridStyleInfo.cs. The tool tip also provides you the information.
