Truncate the last line of multi-line NSTextField

If you want to wrap text like finder labels, using two labels doesn't do you any good since you need to know what the maximum breakable amount of text is on the first line. Plus, if you're building something that will display a lot of items two labels will overburden the GUI needlessly.

Set your NSTextField.cell like this:

[captionLabel.cell setLineBreakMode: NSLineBreakByCharWrapping];

Then find the code for "NS(Attributed)String+Geometrics" (Google it, it's out there). You must #import "NS(Attributed)String+Geometrics.h" to measure text. It monkey patches NSString and NSAttributedString

I include the following code to wrap text exactly how Finder does in its captions. Using one label below the icon it assumes that, like Finder, there will be two lines of caption.

First this is how you will call the following code in your code:

NSString *caption = self.textInput.stringValue;
CGFloat w = self.captionLabel.bounds.size.width;
NSString *wrappedCaption = [self wrappedCaptionText:self.captionLabel.font caption:caption width:w];
self.captionLabel.stringValue = wrappedCaption ? [self middleTruncatedCaption:wrappedCaption withFont:self.captionLabel.font width:w] : caption;

Now for the main code:

#define SINGLE_LINE_HEIGHT 21

/*
    This is the way finder captions work - 

    1) see if the string needs wrapping at all
    2) if so find the maximum amount that will fit on the first line of the caption
    3) See if there is a (word)break character somewhere between the maximum that would fit on the first line and the begining of the string
    4) If there is a break character (working backwards) on the first line- insert a line break then return a string so that the truncation function can trunc the second line
*/

-(NSString *) wrappedCaptionText:(NSFont*) aFont caption:(NSString*)caption width:(CGFloat)captionWidth
{
    NSString *wrappedCaption = nil;

    //get the width for the text as if it was in a single line
    CGFloat widthOfText = [caption widthForHeight:SINGLE_LINE_HEIGHT font:aFont];

    //1) nothing to wrap
    if ( widthOfText <= captionWidth )
       return nil;

    //2) find the maximum amount that fits on the first line
    NSRange firstLineRange = [self getMaximumLengthOfFirstLineWithFont:aFont caption:caption width:captionWidth];

    //3) find the first breakable character on the first line looking backwards
    NSCharacterSet *notAlphaNums = [NSCharacterSet alphanumericCharacterSet].invertedSet;
    NSCharacterSet *whites = [NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet];

    NSRange range = [caption rangeOfCharacterFromSet:notAlphaNums options:NSBackwardsSearch range:firstLineRange];

    NSUInteger splitPos;
    if ( (range.length == 0) || (range.location < firstLineRange.length * 2 / 3) ) {
        // no break found or break is too (less than two thirds) far to the start of the text
        splitPos = firstLineRange.length;
    } else {
        splitPos = range.location+range.length;
    }

    //4) put a line break at the logical end of the first line
    wrappedCaption = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@\n%@",
                        [[caption substringToIndex:splitPos] stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:whites],
                        [[caption substringFromIndex:splitPos] stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:whites]];

    return  wrappedCaption;
}

/*
    Binary search is great..but when we split the caption in half, we dont have far to go usually
    Depends on the average length of text you are trying to wrap filenames are not usually that long
    compared to the captions that hold them...

Cheers!

PS Tested in prototype works great probably has bugs...find them

I suspect there are two labels there. The top one contains the first 20 characters of a file name, and the second contains any overflow, truncated.

The length of the first label is probably restricted based on the user's font settings.
