Thanks saichandra but i have very large data so i cant use this method.
the only way is break the data in multiple lines.

Hi,

What you can try is to find out how much characters you can show, then from that position in the string look back to find a white space. Replace that white space by a '\n' and you should have something that displays on two lines (if the displaying item supports multi line.

Another alternative is to stop the line on the max lenght and make it end on an ellipses (...). then show the full line (possibly split again over multiple lines) in a context help baloon.

Hope this helps; AT
