This enumeration contains the options for the StringFormat.Trimming property, which determines what happens to a string that is too large for its bounding box. You can choose not to crop at all (None) or to crop at Character or Word boundaries. On top of that, you can choose to add an ellipsis ( . . . ) where the cropping occurs, which may of course trim even more text to fit it in (there are EllipsisCharacter and EllipsisWord elements to choose this option). There is also the special case of EllipsisPath which treats the string as a file path and crops in the middle of the string, between \ characters, adding an appropriate ellipsis.

public enum StringTrimming {
   None = 0,
   Character = 1,
   Word = 2,
   EllipsisCharacter = 3,
   EllipsisWord = 4,
   EllipsisPath = 5
}
