Dennis, the screen reader doesn't add the ellipses, but with an appropriate
off screen model feature, it can look beyond the ellipses to give the blind
user the full contents of, say, a listview, even though it is not visible on
the screen.

I thought the ellipses on an item was a function of Windows arranging items
on the screen evenly, not a function of a screen reader? For example, if I
set "Large Icons" from the View Menu in Explorer, or the Control Panel, then
things like Network Neighborhood becomes Network Nei..., regardless the
current application reading the screen?
Am I missing something here? Does the screen reader have the capability to
add the ellipses to the current item when it doesn't think that item can fit
the current screen area? How?
Thanks,
Dennis Brown, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
