Hello developers,
I would like to know if it's possible ellipsize a text into a label as we do in B4A.
For now I need only the "END" ellipsize with 3 dots.

In the meantime I used a shadow to simulate the text truncation, but it's not really nice:



Thanks in advance!

Try this:

B4X: 
Label1.Ellipsize="End"

-j
EDIT: Whoops. This is B4J not B4A

In B4j the label automatically has the end ellipsis set, is the label width constrained by the pane it is on or does it overlap it?
