Thanks Joe, someone else recommended this code below which works fine but I
am guessing your code is somewhat faster because you do not have the
iteration. Thanks Again,
Brian
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, "...");
}
}
