ReprotControl: Using PATH_ELLIPSIS

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   With ReportControl, any text that doesn't fit within a cell is drawn with END_ELLIPSIS (which gives the trailing '...' for the cell).  When file paths are displayed in ReportControl, it's more beneficial to draw the text with PATH_ELLIPSIS so that you can see the beginning and end of the path (and replace the middle with '...').
It is at all possible to change how ReportControl uses ellipsis?  If not, would it be possible to add a flag for ReportRecordItem that indicates the method used for drawing the ellipsis?

	I also submitted this through the online issue tracking system on Jan 12, and I haven't gotten a response. I'll be sure to post any follow-up here.
