Hello, Can someone tell me if there is a way to determine the maximum width (in characters) that a DataGridColumn can fit based on a fixed width layout? I want to detect overrun and truncate the string, append ..., and have the tooltip contain the full text. I have not been able to figure out how to correctly determine what the maximum string length a column can fit. Thanks in advance.
