Ring Item text string too long to display all - use ellipses ?

[SteveP]

The width of my Ring control is not wide enough to display all characters in the Item text string.  LabVIEW simply truncates the text with no indication that additional text is present.  Is there a way to display an ellipses in such cases ?  For example :

"Ring text string that is too long"

that is now shown as :

"Ring text string that i"

could be shown as :

"Ring text st...too long"

There is no built-in mechanism to do this. You could file a request in the Product Suggestion Center.

A couple of suggestions:

1.) Use property nodes to determine which strings are too long, then concatenate the strings with ellipses.

2.) Increase the height so the text wraps.
