Thank you very much!
I almost thought that I have to do it manually. Im going to use
"TruncateThemeText" together with HIThemeGetWindowShape to truncate
the title and listen for Window-Resize Notifications, to recalculate
the truncation.
I can't find "HIThemeGetWindowShape" I thing I have to use
"GetWindowBounds" from the Window Manager and provide
"kWindowTitleTextRgn" as the Region-Constant to get the Bounding-
Rectangle of the Title-Text. Is this correct?
I'm very new to Mac OS X Programming and as a newbie, I started with
Cocoa and left the Carbon thing aside so far. But as deeper I get
into all these APIs I notice, that some things can't be done with
Cocoa alone. Sometimes you have to use Carbon. But I always try to
use as much Cocoa as possible!
Why is this so? Is Cocoa just an Objective-C Wrapper around Carbon? I
always thought they're at the same API Level.
Thanks again
Joachim

Possibly so, but it's nicer than rolling your own, which is where
things were heading. :)
before calling
TruncateThemeText, the program may as well first call
HIThemeGetWindowShape
passing in kWindowTitleTextRgn for the window region and find out
exactly
how wide the window's title bar text can be at its current
dimensions.
Yes, thanks, I knew there was a way but couldn't recall it...
The program can then pass that measurement, instead of a "fudge
factor"
Right, that wasn't a great choice of words. Instead read "the
difference between a title bar's width and that portion of it
alloted to displaying the title text - which could be different in
different kinds of windows, with different title fonts, and also
depends upon which title bar widgets are present."
