    Hello!

    We are just generating translations of our software and I'm having troubles there as some polish/german/french words are really long.

    I'm missing a property in the TsSpeedButton, something like “UseEllipsis”.

    When a caption is too long for a speedbutton, the caption should be shortened using ellipsis

    (the three points that are used all over windows in those cases, “…”)

    Additionally it would be handy if a hint with the full caption would be shown when the mouse is hovered over the button them.

    see attached pic for a graphical explanation.

    Any chance to get such a function into AlphaControls?

    Thanks,

    Ralf

    Thanks, just tested.

    Nice but: Would be even nicer if the hint would appear at the same place where cropped text was shown before.

    (see screenshot of a similar function)

    Sorry, it's not very clear for me..

    Hint windows on screenshots are good or bad?

    Everything is fine, only the position of the hint could be better.

    See the attached pic…

    Thank you, I understand now what you meant. But I'm not sure that such feature may be implemented quickly..

    BTW, files with v9 are updated.
