How to append a long text in a WinForms GridGroupingControl?

Trimming text

In WinForms GridGroupingControl, when you display the long text in a cell, the exceeding text is hidden in that cell. To display a long text with trimming (...) character in GridGroupingControl, it can be achieved by setting the Trimming property as EllipsisCharacter.

C#

//Set ellipsis character for specific column in a grid.           
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns["Ship"].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.Trimming = StringTrimming.EllipsisCharacter;

VB

'Set ellipsis character for specific column in a grid.
Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns("Ship").Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.Trimming = StringTrimming.EllipsisCharacter

The screenshot below displays the text trimming

Note:
Before setting the Trimming property, you have to confirm that WrapText is set as False.
