I have a component sized just the way I want, unfortunately I have to use fixed width font and Swing ALWAYs puts in this stupid "...". It seems to be hardwired in the SwingUtilities routine for painting text. If the component is only supposed to hold fewer than 3 characters I never see anything except the ellipses. The component is being used as a fancy combo box editor and I don't seem to have the option of treating the text that appears in the list differently from the text that appears in the combo box itself. If I could find a way of doing only putting truncated text in the box, and show all the text in the list, that that would be ok too, but the combo box uses the same renderer for the list as the box (and isPopupVisible() seems to be buggy). I already have a version of a combo box where the list is wider than the box. Any suggestions would be appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
