Last Updated : 29 Mar, 2023

jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxGrid is used to illustrate a jQuery widget that shows data in tabular form. Moreover, it renders full support for connecting with data, as well as paging, grouping, sorting, filtering, and editing.

The enableellipsis property is used to analyze if the ellipsis will be shown or not, in case the content of the cells or columns overflows. It is of type Boolean and its by default value is true.

Syntax:

Set the enableellipsis property.

$('#Selector').jqxGrid({ enableellipsis: false});

Return the enableellipsis property.

var enableellipsis = $('#Selector').jqxGrid('enableellipsis');
