Hi, is there a way to have ELLIPSIS functionality in the CExtButton, CExtRadioButton, CExtCheckBox, etc...

The Buttons dialog page of the ProfUIS_Controls sample application allows you to specify different margins and alignment options inside the CExtButton control. The result text area is computed in the CExtPaintManager::PaintPushButtonText() virtual method and its overridden versions in other paint manager classes. So, the result text area may be shifted and always fits the text size. If you see ellipsis in button or check box, then something is incorrect, control size for example, right?

I need the 3 dots (...) to appear at the end of the button text when the button is not large enough to show all the text.


Imagine a button, push button, radio button, check button, any button that has the text "Hello World" in it.


If the button is too narrow to show all text, the text will show up like this: Hello Wo...

Which kind of ellipsis do you need?
