DataGridView cell question

Suppose I have a string that is too long to fit in a cell, such as
"aaabbbcccdddeee".

How can I get it to show up as

....ccdddeee

rather than as

aaabbbcc...

?

I still want its true value to be "aaabbbcccdddeee" and for
"aaabbbcccdddeee" to show up as a tooltip when you mouse over it.

Setting the cell style alignment to right-aligned doesn't do it. That only
affects strings that are not long enough to occupy the whole cell, not
truncated display of strings that are too long.
