How to change remaining characters in a string?

Hi. I have to change the remaining characters to '...' when the string is more the 15. How do i do that?

Example:
str = "This is a sample string"

result:
"This is a sampl..."

Thanks in advance.

Check first if the strTest.Length() is more than 15, then use Mid function, something like...

Code:

Dim strTest As String = "This is a sample string"
strTest = Mid(strTest, 1, 15)
MsgBox(strTest & "...")
