Ellipsis inside button content Windows Phone

Question

is it possible to get ellipsis inside button when content length increase the width of button. I tried editing template but did get much success?

You should have some options. If it's just at the instance, you can just plop your content in as TextBlock so something like;

<Button>
  <Button.Content>
     <TextBlock Text="Blah Blah Blah" TextTrimming="WordEllipsis"/>
  </Button.Content>
</Button>

Or if you make a custom style template for Button you could replace the ContentPresenter in it with a TextBlock with it's content bound to the template like Text="{TemplateBinding Content}" and apply your TextTrimming directly to it. Except remember TextTrimming needs a boundary to invoke it, so your Button's may require like a set MaxWidth/Width or its parent panel will have to restrict its size to invoke the trimming.

Hope this helps, Cheers.

PS - This same concept can be used in WP, WPF, Silverlight, whatever really.
