Clip Mode

The clip mode provides options to display its overflow cell content and it can be defined by the GanttColumn.ClipMode property.

The following are three types of ClipMode:

Clip: Truncates the cell content when it overflows its area.
Ellipsis: Displays ellipsis when content of the cell overflows its area.
EllipsisWithTooltip: Displays ellipsis when content of the cell overflows its area; it displays the tooltip content when hover over ellipsis.

NOTE By default, all the column’s ClipMode property is defined as EllipsisWithTooltip.

The default tooltip in the Gantt Chart component can be customized using the GanttTooltipSettings.TaskbarTemplate property. You can map the template script element’s ID value or template string directly to this property.
