You may want to check out the GNU Pilot DSK Table HOWTO. Unfortunately, I
do not know where it is. So I will take a little from this HOWTO and post
it here...
You can create a function:
void TrimStringToFitCell(char *string, int cell_width_pixels)
{
if (FntCharsWidth(string, StrLen(string)) > cell_width_pixels)
{
cell_width_pixels -= 6;
do
{
string[StrLen(string) - 1] = 0;
} while (FntCharsWidth(string, StrLen(string)) > cell_width_pixels);
StrCat(string, "...");
}
}
And then use this function in your table callback...
....
display_string = "this is a test";
TrimStringToFitCell(display_string, bounds->extent.x - 2);
...

Subject: Table, displaying long stri...
Hi All,
I have a table which displays data much like the built in calendar. I am
having trouble with strings that to not entirely fit in a row. I want to
insert a string of "..." at the max string length -3 to show the user there
is more to the string. Can someone please show me an example of a way to do
this? It's the little things that matter most in life :-).
Thank you
Brian
