  I have noticed on 2016+ builds of C1, that the TrueDBGrid no longer trims string fields when bound to a Datatable, which makes string fields which are center aligned, both not center aligned, and included the ellipses as if there is more of the string to be displayed. I know I can work around this using OwnerDraw if necessary, but I was hoping there was a simpler solution, maybe a property of the grid that can be set so that the behaviour dealing with string fields is to trim the contents before they are drawn in the cells.

  Hi Wayne!

  In TrueDBGrid, you can use Timming property to control the behaviour related to trimming cell content.
  
  You can set this property to the required StringTrimming enum value, like this :

  c1TrueDBGrid1.Styles[0].Trimming = StringTrimming.Character;
  

  Please see this help link :
