is there any way I can adjust the behavior of a Label when text overflows
it's boundaries?
I have a specific size Label which can show 2 lines of text, but on some
occassions the text I insert may be longer. On such occassion, you can see
the top of a third line of text just above the bottom border of the Label
(the text is cut off by the boundary of the LAbel)
I would rather have it not display this third line at all (stop printing
text onces a specific boundary is reached) but instead I have a ToolTip on
that Label which will show the entire text within the ToolTip.
So how do modify Label so it stops displaying text after 2 lines have been
used up?

You can figure out how many display units there are in two lines of your
label, then dynamically figure out how many units in the text your posting
(as different fonts/sizes will matter), then cut it off at max units. Did
something like this once but don't remember the exact code to use.

Hi thanks for your reply!
would you elaborate a bit more on "display units" ?
anything to do with getting rectangles that the text would fit in and
comparing it to rectangle of space available in the label?

Hi
On a developer computer I have built a small Form with a label telling the
user to press a "update" button on the same form. When the button is pressed
(on a user computer, not developer) a Messagebox will apear and give
information. This does not show the texts at all.. it instead shows a msgbox
which have the right amount of buttons and the size looks like it's taking
care of the textlength of the message but there are no texts...

I have text that is too long to nicely fit on a given page, so I want
to add ellipses to the end that dynamicaly resize based on the person
resizing the page width. If you hover it would show the full text,
using a title attribute I believe.
It works for a div, but not a span... any ideas?

Yet another daft question.
Can I fill a css defined box with a text character such that the box can be

width, does not overflow?

Is it possible to use some C or compiler extension to catch

The situation is as follows:

For integer computions the C type 'long' is used.
That way native C speed can be reached.
Now I want to experiment with raising a Seed7 exception
