Description
How can I show ellipsis in the Grid cells where the text does not fit the specified width and display the full content in a tooltip when the user hovers over the cell?
Solution
The following example illustrates how to achieve the functionality.
<div id="grid"></div>
<style>
#grid{
width:300px;
}
</style>
<script>
var grid = null;
$(document).ready(function () {
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
data: [
{ID:1 ,Text: "Integer arcu odio, egestas nec pretium sit amet, aliquet vel nibh. Aliquam ac ante fringilla, consectetur erat at, dapibus est. Pellentesque facilisis iaculis neque, in auctor eros fringilla ut. Proin sit amet aliquet lorem. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas.

{ID:2 ,Text: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. "},
{ID:3 ,Text: " Duis ut nulla eget lectus posuere tempor. "},
{ID:4 ,Text: ""},
{ID:5 ,Text: " Duis ut"}
],
schema: {
model: {
fields: {
ID: { type: "number" },
Text: { type: "string" }
}}
},
pageSize: 20
});
grid = $("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: dataSource,
scrollable: true,
filterable: true,
columns: [
{ field: "ID", width: "50px" },
{ field: "Text", width: "200px", attributes: {
style: 'white-space: nowrap '
} }]
}).data("kendoGrid");
$("#grid").kendoTooltip({
filter: "td:nth-child(2)", //this filter selects the second column's cells
position: "right",
content: function(e) {
var dataItem = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid").dataItem(e.target.closest("tr"));
var content = dataItem.Text;
if(content.length > 10){
return content;
}else{
return "";
}
},
show: function(e){
if(this.content.text() !=""){
$('[role="tooltip"]').css("visibility", "visible");
}
},
hide: function(){
$('[role="tooltip"]').css("visibility", "hidden");
}
}).data("kendoTooltip");
});
