Please consider adding built-in support for a TextTruncationWithAction or TruncateWithButton mode on GridColumn components. This feature would display long text as truncated with ellipsis (...) and a button or icon to reveal the full content, such as in a modal or popover.
Why This Is Needed
In enterprise applications like ERP, cutover planning, or audit logs, we often display descriptions, notes, or comments that can span multiple lines. However:
Hi Ken,
Thank you for your suggestion regarding the TextTruncationWithAction feature for GridColumn components. I understand the importance of maintaining a compact grid layout while ensuring users have quick access to full text content in enterprise applications.
Currently, there is no built-in feature for truncating text with an action button in the Telerik UI for Blazor Grid component. However, you can achieve similar functionality by using existing features. You can use the Grid events to display the full content in a separate container, like a modal or popover, when a user interacts with the cell. You can find more details and a code example in our Knowledge Base article: https://www.telerik.com/blazor-ui/documentation/knowledge-base/grid-rows-text-ellipsis
Regarding the feature request, a similar request was submitted in the past. You can view the feedback and its status here:
With the above in mind, I'm changing the status of the item to "Duplicated".
I hope you find well the provided information.
