Re: Finder like wrapping + truncation



I just found this in the release notes:

"The Cocoa Text System now allows the last visible line to have an ellipsis character appended if the entire content cannot fit into the specified bounding box. The behavior can be controlled with - truncatesLastVisibleLine for text cells. The -lineBreakMode must be either NSLineBreakByWordWrapping or NSLineBreakByCharWrapping for this option to take effect.. Also, the NSStringDrawingTruncatesLastVisibleLine flag can be specified to NSStringDrawing APIs that take NSStringDrawingOptions. The NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin flag must also be specified for the truncation flag to take effect."

Sure I did.
Seems that NSLineBreakByTruncatingMiddle in the NSParagraphStyle overrides NSStringDrawingTruncatesLastVisibleLine.
Anyway, I think I can live with that :)

Thanks Adam, works grate!
There is only one little flaw that it always truncates the tail and I don't see a way to change this.

Did you try setting NSLineBreakByTruncatingMiddle on your NSParagraphStyle? I don't recall trying that with NSStringDrawingTruncatesLastVisibleLine myself, but it should work.
