My project is to implement a browser. I have a winform in which tabpages are added dynamically. After loading a site the title of the webpage is displayed on the title of the selected tabpage.

To have a good position of the ellipsis you need to measure the text, find the position where you could place it. You could use the code of this article more or less as it is, but with little modifications for sure: Auto Ellipsis[^]

Solution 1

First choose what max length of string you want in the header before loading the title use something like below:-

C#

//assume max len 10 and 3 dots means you should show only 7 chars and three dots
        string title = "Ravi malviya"; //example only
        title = title.Substring(0, 7);
        title += "...";

Best of luck!!
