Try demo

Yes! demos "AppListViewDemo2"  and ""AppListViewDemo7"   are about "drawing" items.....

But, I don't know exactly what  @lazpaz need....

Hi,

I want to know the width of one character, and then calculate the width of all characters. When the width of all characters is greater than the width of the control, intercept the specified number of characters and add "..." after the characters.

Thanks

Done!

jListView: New "ItemTextEllipsis" property!

Now You can try:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.    jTextView1.SetEllipsize(emEnd);
2.    jTextView1.Text:= 'Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a German poet, playwright, novelist, scientist, statesman, theatre director, and critic.' ;
3.  
4.    jListView1.ItemTextEllipsis:= True;
5.    jListView1.Add('Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a German poet, playwright, novelist, scientist, statesman, theatre director, and critic.');
6.    jListView1.ItemTextEllipsis:= False;
7.  
8.
