Is there a way to tell if a string is too long for a text field within

trash which contains a file with a long file name, and the file name
has an ellipsis (...) at the end to indicate there is more to the
name.
Not entirely sure what you want, but maybe NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail
is the solution? I think this was implemented in Panther.
Is there a solution to my problem? I'm currently using the Lucida
Grande font.
It's rather difficult because there is padding, borders and such to
take into consideration -- but one solution might be to clone the cell
used for the text and send it a sizeToFit. That way you can compare
that size with the interior of the view which display the real cell.
