[PATCH 0/2] MR6325: Draft: wineboot: Shrink the prefix path string if it's too long.

[Aida Jonikienė (＠DodoGTA)]

The dialog box in wineboot has a fixed width but the prefix path
string doesn't (which could cause parts of the prefix path to be cut off
and made invisible).

This issue got worse in commit 8e1197c92e8c08fb197c8656a07215296d656890
which introduced more accurate word wrap behavior (that no longer wraps
strings without spaces and causes space-less paths to be more commonly cut off).

[PATCH 1/2] wineboot: Split the prefix text into 3 parts.

[Aida Jonikienė]

From: Aida Jonikienė

This makes shrinking the prefix path string easier in the next change.

[PATCH 2/2] wineboot: Shrink the prefix path string if it's too long.

[Aida Jonikienė]

From: Aida Jonikienė

This change caps the prefix path to 15 characters from both the start and
end with a ellipsis in the middle if the prefix path string doesn't fit
in the dialog's test box (this is a hardcoded value).

Could we use DrawText(DT_PATH_ELLIPSIS) instead of this complexity?

I think I tried that PATHELLIPSIS flag but it didn't work properly (that might be because of the Unix-style forward slash paths though)
