I have an application where we replace place holding text with other text at run time.
While doing so I have to add character ellipses if the string goes beyond some predefined width.
So I do not have a DrawingContext available nor i have a Graphics.Measure available.
I used FormattedText but I was unable to extract the ellipted text.
I could never find the right way to use a formatted text like this.
Please help.
For WinForms, you can use the TextRenderer.MeasureText function,
and thanks to the comment from vcjones, using the method described at http://smellegantcode.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/glyphrun-and-so-forth/ for WPF.
