I use tablelist widget to collect some text and display it in a
row/column cell. Sometimes this text is too big and it messes up the
display. When this happens, it also messes up scrolling with mouse.

I have used "-snipString" but I don't see any difference in the widget's
behavior or appearance.

Is there a way to apply ellipsis beyond a certain number of characters?
If the user wants, they can click on the "..." to expand it, but by
default it should not go beyond a certain size, like 250 characters.

Check out the -maxwidth column configuration option. Note that the
expand functionality described by you is not supported.

Thank you. I am still not getting it to work properly. It looks like it
works only on the first row. Probably my mistake somewhere with the
options at the moment. Also shorter content in the other columns end up
displaying vertically centered, although I am using the column -valign
option set to top.

The -maxwidth column configuration option sets the column's maximum
width, and is tested to work on all rows.

As described in the reference manual, the -valign column (and cell)
configuration option specifies the vertical alignment of embedded images
and windows only. Due to limitations of the underlying text widget
there is no way to configure the vertical alignment of the texts
displayed in the cells (they are always rendered vertically centered).

No problem; thank you for the info. I must have missed this part in the
documentation.
