Image offScreenBmp;
offScreenBmp = new Bitmap(100, 900);
gdiSurface = Graphics.FromImage(offScreenBmp);


theFont = myFont;

public String TruncateByWidth(string myString, int EndWidth)
{
int count = 1;
SizeF MeasuredWidth = new SizeF();
while(MeasuredWidth.Width < EndWidth)
{
MeasuredWidth = gdiSurface.MeasureString(myString.Substring(0,count), theFont, 900);
count++;
}
string tmp;

tmp = myString.Substring(0, count);
tmp = tmp + &quot;..&quot;;
