Hi guys,

I'm trying to make a QTF table, and it's needed to have all rows with exactly same row height, without wrapping Strings in the cells but truncating and probably adding an ellipsis character. I found DrawTextEllipsis() routine but not sure how could I use it in QTF.

Any ideas?

Yesss, I had started working in that line! Thanks a lot Mirek!

I think you meant to measure the width, not height, with GetWidth(), I've seen this works! I'm planning to measure the width of the intended ellipsis character as well and shorten the text and add the ellipsis to fit in the cell width. It will suffice as long as it works, needn't be too elegant

But how to implement the binary search with log(len(text)) (which I think will save few iterations)?

Yes, got your idea of checking the height. And the binary search would be very cool! For time being this code does the job for me:

void TrimQTFTextEllipsis(String& qtf, int width, const String& ellipsis) {
	String str = qtf;
	while(ParseQTF(qtf).GetWidth() > width) {
		str.TrimLast();
		qtf = str + ellipsis;
	}
}

It's not really elegant, will trim ending ']' from QTF if it's there, so that should be added after trimming. However with the width given correctly it works pretty good. Uploading image of output.



Will try to implement the way you suggested when I can do some optimisation.

With GetHeight, you would not need to specify width...

Oh, sorry I don't know how to handle RichCell and RichText properly
To create that test cell we would still need to know the correct width right?
