It's funny but no the demo did not cover this.
So, I use $dc->GetTextExtents($string) to get the size of the string,
then compare it with $rect to see if it is going to overflow, then if it
will what do I do? Just start chopping off one char in a loop and
checking to see if it fits?
Thanks for the reply.

Hi,
I know very little about wxGrid, but have used wxDC and related
objects a fair bit.
Therefore something jumps out from the code.
Using $grid->SetCellOverflow( $row, $col,0) should be used outside
your subroutine to set the extents of the $rect passed in and it is
your job in a custom renderer to draw the text within the bounds
described by $rect.
use
$dc->GetTextExtents
to decide how to draw your text and how much of it to output.
As I say, I'm not familiar with wxGrid, so maybe it has some special
properties, but if using a custom renderer in wxGrid is like any other
custom rendering, I think all the work is down to you.
Is there not an example in Wx::Demo that does something exactly like
this?
Cheers

Hi everybody,
I have a grid with a custom cell combo editor/renderer.
The Editor works fine, the renderer however is allowing the text to
overflow the cell boundaries even when the SetCellOverflow is set to
False.
$grid->SetCellOverflow( $row, $col,0);
The other cells w/o custom renderer's work fine and properly cut the
text off when it is to big for the cell.
Below is the "Draw" method for my custom renderer. It is pretty much
a copy of the examples with extra combo box functionality thrown in.
If anyone has a clue as to what is going on I would appreciate some
assistance.
(I have also set SetDefaultCellOverflow(FALSE) in the creation of the
grid.)
sub Draw {
debug "Renderer:Draw\n";
my( $self, $grid, $attr, $dc, $rect, $row, $col, $sel ) = ( shift,
@_ );
$self->SUPER::Draw( @_ );
$dc->SetPen( wxBLACK_PEN );
$dc->SetBrush( wxWHITE_BRUSH );
$dc->SetFont(Wx::SystemSettings::GetFont(wxSYS_DEFAULT_GUI_FONT ));
my $dbvalue = $grid->GetCellValue( $row, $col );
$grid->SetCellOverflow( $row, $col,0);
debug "Got Value of :$dbvalue:\n";
my $textvalue = $self->get_text_from_id($dbvalue);
debug "New Text is :$textvalue:\n";
$dc->DrawText( $textvalue, $rect->x, $rect->y );
}
