DataGridView cell format question

[Michael A. Covington]

How can I get excessively long strings in cells to be trimmed

"...like this"

instead of

"like this..."

?

That is, I want the beginning, not the end, of the displayable string to be
trimmed off. Getting it right-aligned is no problem but it still puts "..."
on the right, not the left.

Thanks!

Michael,

Well, you aren't being too specific about ^what^ you are using to
generate this format to begin with. I mean, based on what you said, it's as
simple as calling Substring and tacking three periods to the beginning of
the string, but I don't think that is what you want.
