Property Value

Type: System::Boolean

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

Set AutoEllipsis to true to display text that extends beyond the width of the Label when the user passes over the control with the mouse. If AutoSize is true, the label will grow to fit the text and an ellipsis will not appear.

System_CAPS_importantImportant

If the font is taller than the height of the Label and AutoEllipsis is true, you must set AutoSize to false for text to be drawn.
