There are two NSCell behaviors that I have seen in various apps and
would like to adopt in my own app:
1. When the user is editing the cell text and it becomes longer than
the width of the cell, the contents become right-justified so that the
user can see the insertion point and the new text they are adding.
2. When the user is done editing a cell with text that is longer than
the width of the cell, an ellipsis is placed at the end of the viewable
text to show that it continues out of the viewable rect. Furthermore,
I would like to be able to place the ellipsis in the middle of the word
in some cases, the way Finder.app does in column view to show the
beginning of the word and its file name extension.
Are these standard behaviors that I have not found, or will I have to
implement these behaviors myself? In case it matters, I am using a
subclass of NSTextFieldCell that is very similar to/based on the
ImageAndTextCell found in
"/Developer/Examples/AppKit/DragNDropOutlineView/".
TIA,
