Thanks Adam, works grate!
There is only one little flaw that it always truncates the tail and I don't see a way to change this.

Hi,

I'm needing a hand with this. I'm trying to emulate the wrapping and truncation for icon labels in Finder's icon view.

My first question is: is there any method around for making a string to line wrap, and to truncate the second line if it is too long (like on the right hand image in the screenshot). Is this supported in an API?

It's supported as of 10.5. See NSStringDrawingTruncatesLastVisibleLine in NSStringDrawing.h, along with appropriate NSParagraphStyle options.

The second questions is: can the NSAttributedString render the background for the text like the ones on the screenshots or is it something I have to draw myself?

I think you'll have to draw that yourself.
