Question

I have a TreeView with a given width. When I add a node with a name which makes it exceed the maximal TreeView width it displays a vertical scrollbar.

I’d prefer to display only the beginning of the name followed by ‘…’ to avoid the scrollbar. I tried googleing it but I fail to find a result.

Could someone tell me how it’s done (Not the usage of Google, I mean the string shortening)?

Answer 1

Typically like this:

<TextBlock Text="Whatever" TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis"/>

However, you will need to incorporate this into your TreeViewItems by way of a template.
