auto_ellipsis() [2/2]

virtual label & xtd::forms::label::auto_ellipsis ( bool  value )

virtual

Sets a value indicating whether the ellipsis character (...) appears at the right edge of the xtd::forms::label, denoting that the xtd::forms::label text extends beyond the specified length of the xtd::forms::label.

Parameters

value

true if the additional label text is to be indicated by an ellipsis; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Returns

Current label instance.

Remarks

Set xtd::forms::label::auto_ellipsis to true to display text that extends beyond the width of the xtd::forms::label in a tooltip when the user passes over the control with the mouse. If xtd::forms::label::auto_size is true, the label will grow to fit the text and an ellipsis will not appear.

Note

If the font is taller than the height of the xtd::forms::label and xtd::forms::label::auto_ellipsis is true, you must set xtd::forms::label::auto_size to false for text to be drawn.
