Limit character shown in a grid

Hi All,

I was wondering if there is a way to limit the number of characters shown per column in a grid. For example, I have a grid that has one column that shows a field called description and its data max character limit is 2000, but in the grid visually I only want to show 500 and then .... if they put their cursor over can see the rest. Is this possible or even something similar, this way the grid looks more harmonic since some data has up to 2000 characters but other ones are only 100-200  and things like that.

thanks in advance
