Is it possible to control which truncation method is used?
The truncation types are documented in the NSMutableParagraphStyle
documentation for setLineBreakMode:
The code snippet I posted above is an addendum to the project Paul
Fitzgerald posted to the list, which you can find at this URL:
There's a test project here: http://homepage.mac.com/pgfitzgerald
Just doing a setWraps:YES on the underlying cell is not enough to get
truncation to work, it was just the missing piece that Paul needed to
get his test project to work as expected.
I don't know if there is any documentation on the need for doing a
setWraps:YES on the underlying cell to get truncation to work.
I guess I didn't read his sample code carefully at all. :-(
I thought there was some magic I was missing whereby NSCell did
automatic truncation without going through attributed strings, but it
appears there is no such magic feature.
To summary you need to use an attributed string with the appropriate
line break mode -AND- send setWraps:YES to the cell (the later half
being undocumented?).
Thanks,
Jim
