  • None
  • WordEllipsis
  • CharacterEllipsis
  • Clip

For example , the TextTrimming property can be set like the way shown in the below XAML code snippet.

<TextBlock TextTrimming="WordEllipsis"  Width="75px" MaxHeight=”400px” >Welcome to developerpublish.com</TextBlock>

When the TextTrimming is set to “None” , the Text is not trimmed .
