Need Help! Crop Text...

[Mr.Dio]

Hello, please tell me. How to crop a text that goes beyond the frame.

Sorry for my english

I think you will need to parent it to a ScrollFrame. There might be other solutions, but I think this is the onyl one.

I'm almost certain you can achieve that by using :SetWidth().

SetWidth() on a string results in "..." truncation, which he doesn't want, as indicated by the amazing MS Paint photo =3.

Thx! Great works!

scrollframe = CreateFrame("ScrollFrame") scrollframe:SetSize(50, 20) scrollframe:SetPoint("CENTER") content = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, scrollframe) content:SetSize(200, 20) content:SetPoint("CENTER") text = content:CreateFontString("PlayerHealthPTextFrame", "OVERLAY") text:SetAllPoints() text:SetFont("Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF", 8, "OUTLINE") text:SetText("Interface\\GLUES\\MainMenu\\Glues-BlizzardLogo") text:SetWordWrap(false) scrollframe:SetScrollChild(content)
