I'm using a SWT TreeViewer to show some paths, is it possible to trim the path string to insert "..." (points) when the path is too long a is not fully visible in the tree column?
Something like this:

It's done manually in Error Log View (http://kickjava.com/src/org/eclipse/pde/internal/runtime/logview/LogViewLabelProvider.java.htm) at least. – Alexey Romanov Sep 26 '11 at 17:56

Ok, reading the TreeColumn code I have noticed that the TreeViewer add ellipsis (...) to the columns automatically, but only if the column index is > 0. So column 0 strings are not truncated.
Try all eclipse views that uses a TreeView.
Really I don't understand this behavior.

Yes, you can use DecoratingLabelProvider over the LabelProvider which shows full paths (which is presumably what you have at the moment).

I'm not sure that this is what I'm looking for. I think that I'm looking an flag or setting in the TreeViewer that do this automatically. See my edits. – Daniel Peñalba Sep 26 '11 at 17:29
