Thank you ; thank you; thank you

Weird coincidence.  I had just started thinking about problems with the
display of large icon names in the ListView control and was about to start
digging into who was supposed to be handling the word-wrapping etc.  (Shows
how little I know about Windows doesn't it).  Now I don't have to think
(but I'll look to see if the format is correct)

Glad I could help! :) Hopefully it works for you.  Just hope its tested enough
that it works good in all situations.

Sorry, it doesn't.  There are some problems down in the core to do with the
handling of DT_WORD_ELLIPSIS in non-single-line controls etc.  (The
ellipsis handling needs to be in the TEXT_NextLineW).

Are you well set up to handle all that stuff or shall I?  (After all, I
have the offending cases with which to test)

Sorry to hear that.  I will be able to look into it but if anyone has any test
programs they would help ALOT.

How about the Hello World sample program from Petzold 3rd edition chapter 2
with tiny modifications.

Personally the difficult bit for me is designing the experiments
themselves.

If you like I can create some of the test cases if you want to do the
coding.  Do you want to take this off the newsgroup?

By the way, how about using GetTextExtentExPoint to measure the string,
that way you don't need to worry about the kerning etc; the only
complication is the tabs.
