Remarks

EllipsisText is a label control with automatic text trimming mechanism. When the text exceeds the control dimension, it will trim the text and automatically adds an ellipsis indicator to the text.

Example

You can customize the position of the trimmed text by setting EllipsisPosition property. The following example show how to customize the EllipsisPosition.
