I'm not sure if there's any really graceful "built in" solution... What I did, in a similar sort of position, was measure the string before adding it to the widget, and if it was going to be too long, I created a suitable sized "reduced" version, i.e. "This string is much, much too long!" might be reduced to "This string is..." instead. Not ideal, but... The advantage with "shortening" the strings under program control was that I could make some attempt to do something "clever" with the reduced string, rather than just truncating it abruptly. Not always great though... Is this on a touchscreen device, BTW? If so, you might want to think very carefully about what widgets you use - a lot of "stock" widget choices don't work all that well in a touch environment, and especially on small displays, so you might do better to come up with something other than a choice box, since dropdowns and such often don't function well in that context... You could probably use an Fl_Roller (maybe coupled to an Fl_Browser or something) to make up a "wheel widget" somewhat like the list scrolling widgets that you see on an iPhone, for example...
