Marius, got your email literally before I could hit "Send" on mine!
You are right, of course, thank you for the effort.

The width of TableCells are bound to the column they belong to.
Therefore, prefWidth(-1) will always return the width of the column and not
what the cell should ideally have.
See the computePrefWidth() method inside TableCellSkinBase.
There is a flag which unfortunately can not be set:
isDeferToParentForPrefWidth, which will enable the cell to not take the column
width but the real preferred width.

Betreff: Re: [External] : Re: Q: Labeled.textTruncated Property (RFE)
Andy, all,
Some comments below:
1. Even if it is possible to do the same with public means I think it is
useful. Anyhow we need to promote the solutions better (e.g., on StackOverflow)
2. I tried to achieve what you did in JavaFX core for my use-case, TableView
cells.
* In my real application I tried and failed since the boolean condition
in
https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/blob/8a5cb17ed6525b0a218595865ead3e399e3b29dd/modules/javafx.controls/src/main/java/javafx/scene/control/Labeled.java#L838-L841<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/github.com/openjdk/jfx/blob/8a5cb17ed6525b0a218595865ead3e399e3b29dd/modules/javafx.controls/src/main/java/javafx/scene/control/Labeled.java*L838-L841__;Iw!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!LOj7jlHaiG3nkCmQXhoTVAmuxuPXZEyedX8Vp_-lnzdcddQfc7VX2u3HLqEW0BghU4TrJFCy650tkuSINaveR80l$>
always reports false
* Hence I tried to create a short self-contained TableView example to
explore it further, see Gist
https://gist.github.com/danielpeintner/9b561eb57261e8c5bc608f1346df74cf<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gist.github.com/danielpeintner/9b561eb57261e8c5bc608f1346df74cf__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!LOj7jlHaiG3nkCmQXhoTVAmuxuPXZEyedX8Vp_-lnzdcddQfc7VX2u3HLqEW0BghU4TrJFCy650tkuSINXen6EUR$>
It still fails :-(
* The Email field in the table ideally should report "true" once the
text entered exceeds the visible view. Somehow it fails... getWidth() and
prefWidth(-1) always return the same double value. Please try the Gist above to
confirm.
e.g., edit cell and extend the email text to longer than column width -->
results in System.out "Table-Email-Cell !isWrapText: 182.0 < 182.0 --> false"
* Hence I also added a *normal* MyLabel example which does work as
intended
Maybe I miss something obvious but TableCells seem to be special Labeled
instances and behave differently.
Thanks,
-- Daniel

Dear Daniel:
Thank you for confirming the need for this enhancement. Your case is covered
by this ticket (I included a wrong ticket in my previous message by mistake,
sorry):
JDK-8327483<https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8327483> TreeView: Allow for
tooltip when cell text is truncated
My only concern is that this functionality theoretically can be achieved by the
application code just as easy, since the solution does not use any internal
APIs, as can be seen here:
https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/pull/1389<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/github.com/openjdk/jfx/pull/1389__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!LUwCrjMEKxlGC0k5v9-zO0Axw6TqddmMJM7_6onFdHOLL1eo5MDNu1lVj7grGquhgJdnqXX_eCyA7MGEMNyIivVMcBB9XfY$>

Subject: [External] : Re: Q: Labeled.textTruncated Property (RFE)
Hi Andy, all,
Thank you for the effort which I very much appreciate.
We have a similar use-case as the one mentioned in JDK-8205211.
We would like to show a Tooltip with the corresponding text once the text is
shown with ellipsis for a TableCell. The *hacky* solution we are using is
sketched in [1] and requires us to calculate the width again. Moreover, once
different fonts come into the game it becomes even more brittle.
Having an easy (easier?) way to detect and observe whether a label is truncated
is of importance for us and definitely improves the usability of JavaFX.
Thanks,
-- Daniel

Dear colleagues:
Do you think a new property, ReadOnlyBooleanProperty textTruncated, should be
added to the Labeled control?
On one hand, we do have a couple of tickets in JBS requesting that:
* JDK-8091891<https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8091891> TreeView: There
is no tooltip available on truncated node
* JDK-8205211<https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8205211> Ability to show
Tooltip only when text is shown with ellipsis (...)
On the other hand, this functionality can in theory be implemented at the
application level, although the number of changes required might be
uncomfortably large in the case of Tree/TreeTable/TableView.
JBS:
* JDK-8092102<https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8092102> Labeled:
truncated property
