>I modified my program, but I still got a white rectangle.
Here's some code that should work on all OS versions.

Steve Mann
# # #
void UTTruncateString
(
Char * strP, // ( in/out ) the string to truncate
Int16 width, // ( in ) the max # of pixels to allow
FontID font // ( in ) the font to calculate the width in
)
{
Int16 strLength = StrLen ( strP );
Int16 strWidth = width;
FontID oldFont = FntSetFont ( font );
Boolean truncated;
// Get the max # chars that can be displayed
FntCharsInWidth ( strP, &strWidth, &strLength, &truncated );
FntSetFont ( oldFont );
// Truncate the title and add trailing ellipsis.
if ( strLength < StrLen ( strP ))
{
strP [ strLength - 1 ] = 24; // ellipsis
strP [ strLength ] = '\0'; // truncate
}
}
