Limit number of characters in Label

Question

I am using label in my winform . It displays the value which I enter in another textbox. My problem is label does not display whole characters I enter in textbox. Label's size is width=160 and height=19. So it truncates the last value. For testing purpose when I enter "W" in caps in textbox ;label can display maximum 13 "W"s. So I am trimming the charater's by using labelname.substring(0,10); and for next three characters I am appending 3 dots(...) But this solution is not desirable to my senior. He is telling me that if I enter all small letters "l" in textbox then though label has space to display more than 13 characters it will display only 13 characters(including dots). Does anybody has solution on that ?? I also cannot increase width or height of label to accomodate more characters.

Answer 1

Well, you could set the AutoEllipsis property to true and don't worry about the length of the text.

Edited to Add: as per comments

If you're using RadLabel from Telerik then you need to dig a little more:

RadLabel.LabelElement.LabelText.AutoEllipsis

Nothing that 5 minutes looking through the documentation doens't solve
