Hi all,
does anybody have a description of an algorithm to shorten a Unicode string to a
particular width? What I want is to implement the DT_END_ELLIPSIS functionality of the
DrawTextW Windows API also for Win9x and Linux. The implementation I have so far works
quite well except that it might lead to wrong strings because formerly inner letters
can become final letters which can be of totally different form as we know.
Additionally, where are the usual three points to be drawn for right-to-left strings,
on the left of the string or still on the right?
Ciao, Mike
