Textblock modify text automatically

Question

Let's say I have two TextBlock on the same page and both binding to the same variable:

<TextBlock Text={Binding [someViewModel].someText}/>
<TextBlock Text={Binding [someViewModel].someText}/>

//someText = "testingText"

I'm wondering if it's possible to have the first textblock to show "tes......" and the second textblock showing "testingText"?

@HamletHakobyan: I've no idea how to elaborate more to improve my question. lol. — SuicideSheep, Mar 25 '14 at 09:38

Try this

 <StackPanel>
    <TextBlock Text="testingtext" MaxWidth="20" TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" HorizontalAlignment="Left"></TextBlock>
    <TextBlock Text="testingtext" ></TextBlock>
 </StackPanel>

output

I've tried your way. What happened was there wasn't any "..." but it expand to the next line instead. tes

run this code separately you will get same result and make sure that you are not using Textwrapping because textrapping will do line break(next line) – Heena Mar 25 '14 at 10:22

Make an IValueConverter for one of the bindings which converts the String to the custom format you want.
