Need Help! Crop Text...

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.
