Any NSTextFieldCell can do what you want. See the documentation for -[NSTextFieldCell setLineBreakMode:] and -[NSTextFieldCell setScrollable:]. But to get a quick demo, drop an NSTextFieldCell into an IB document, set the Layouts setting to "Truncates," and set the Line Breaks setting to "Truncate Middle" (the option you're asking for is akin to Truncate Head, but in Mac OS X paths that need to be truncated are truncated from the middle). Unfortunately it looks like NSComboBox doesn't respect these flags in its drop down. It will respect them in the main textfield portion, however. Regardless, I think NSComboBox is the wrong UI for this feature. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
