Truncate beginning of label

Question

I have a label (NSTextField) with text aligned right. When the text becomes too large to display, the end of the text is truncated (at the right edge of the label).

Answer 1

I'm not quite sure if this works for NSTextFields, I know it does for UILabels, but have you tried :

myTextField.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.ByTruncatingHead

Answer 2

What you're looking for is

[[myTextField cell] setLineBreakMode: NSLineBreakByTruncatingHead];

Swift:

myTextField.cell.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.ByTruncatingHead
