Flushed with some semblance of success I'm now trying to get
Finder's behaviour with inserting centre ellipses when the text is
too large for its container.
I can get the ellipsis at the tail of the text easily enough
(NSStringDrawingTruncatesLastVisibleLine), and I thought I had a
bead on the problem remembering that NSParagraphStyle has a setting
for this - but actually it has a setting for breaking each line in
the paragraph (i.e. according to end-of-lines in the text), rather
than what happens typographical wrapping. As I have no line breaks
in my text I'll always get one line of laid-out text, with the
ellipsis in the middle - not what I'm after.
Is there some other mechanism to achieve what I'm after? Perhaps
this requires NSTextView-Fu (of which I currently have next to none).
Hello again...
Well, to try to accomplish this, I have my own NSView which is drawing
a string with a NSLayoutManager.
I haven't quite come up with a solution, but I believe I am close and
need to leave for today. Just moments ago, I started a thread on this
topic with this message:
