Re: [DUG]: Ellipsis truncation

Has anyone else noticed that 'The Borland Bulletin', when opened in a separate window, appears on the taskbar as 'The Borland Bull..." This is obviously another MS conspiracy!

Cool, I think that is what I was trying to remember.  Might have a write a
small funciton that finds out how long the string will be when rendered and
slowly shrinking it till it fits with an '...' at the end.

Does anybody know of a good way of shortening a capition shown on
screen to X pixels and putting an '...' at the end?  I seem to
recall that there might be an API call that'll do it, but I can't
remember it's name.


Cheers,
Nahum.
