TrimText is a REALbasic class based on the Canvas Class, but it is designed to display text.

Text displayed in a control based on this class is shown as a single line and is normally Left aligned.  
However, if the text does not fit into the width of the control 
(e.g. if the control is locked to the right and left margins of the window and the window is resized)
the text is Left or Right aligned and the excess text is trimmed and replaced by "...".

The following Properties have been added to enable and control the display.  Most simply reflect their use in the StaticText class ...

Text         String       The text to be displayed
TextFont     String
TextSize     Integer
TextAlign    Integer      Only used to align text if it will not fit into the width.
TextColor    Colo(u)r
Bold         Boolean
Italic       Boolean
UnderLine    Boolean

Because the Canvas class on which TrimText is based does not automatically redraw its contents, 
simply setting Text will not change the displayed text.  An additional SetText Method has therefore been added
to set the Text property and force a Refresh.
