Overview

You can allow a cell to display an ellipsis (...) when the text in the cell is too long to be displayed in the cell. The ellipsis let the user know that more text is available in the cell.

Notes:

Only the currency, date, edit, number, percent, PIC, scientific, static text, and time cell types can display an ellipsis.
For currency, number, and percent cells, the ellipsis displays only if the TypeHAlign property is set to 0 (Left).
Cells do not display an ellipsis if the AllowCellOverflow property is set to True or if the TypeEditMultiLine or TypeTextWordWrap property is set to True for an edit or static text cell.
Cells do not display an ellipsis if the TypeTextOrient property is set to a value other than 0 (Horizontal).
