Subject: Path ellipsis (...) in the report items

I'd need to use a single item in the report control to contain a path. Since the path name could be "long", I need to truncate it, using ellipsis (...) in the name.
Is there any simpler way to implement this??
I found this way: using the DrawItem event, I draw directly on the report ...but it seems too "complicated" for a simple task like this...
Private Sub grdImportSts_DrawItem(ByVal Row As XtremeReportControl.IReportRow, _
ByVal Column As XtremeReportControl.IReportColumn, _
ByVal Item As XtremeReportControl.IReportRecordItem, _
ByVal hDC As stdole.OLE_HANDLE, _
ByVal left As Long, _
ByVal top As Long, _
ByVal right As Long, _
ByVal bottom As Long, _
DoDefault As Boolean)
Dim tR As RECT
If Item.Index = ID_COL_FILENAME Then
tR.right = right - 4
tR.left = left + 4
tR.bottom = bottom - 2
tR.top = top + 1
DrawText hDC, Item.Value, -1, tR, DT_PATH_ELLIPSIS Or DT_SINGLELINE Or DT_MODIFYSTRING
DoDefault = False
End If
End Sub

Hi,
No other way. Whether you're ok with ellipsis in the end of the string (DT_END_ELLIPSIS) by default, or you're implementing it as you described above...
