Clipping Label

[tgilbert]

Hi,

I've got a Label, member of a HLayout. I would like the label to have a maximum width, with the value clipped if it gets wider than allowed.
I've tried to set a hardcoded width to the layout and/or the label, the full value is always shown. Please note that I've set 'wrap' to false.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Thomas

We don't have a feature on Label specifically to allow a max width (although this is coming in 6.0). In current versions, what you can do is place the label inside an overflow:hidden container, such as a Canvas, and have that container have a fixed width which is that maximum size the label should have.

Thank you. If I do like this, will the setShowClippedTitleOnHover() feature work in that case? Not sure...

No. If that's a requirement, another possibility is to draw a Label with the same settings offscreen with autoFit:true, see how big it is, and size the Label that will be shown to the user accordingly.
