Truncating ListView Cells

Bill

I have a ListView set to details mode, which contains file paths. Is it possible to truncate the cells from the left hand side instead of the right?

For example:
If a cell contains a string (C:\Windows\Some directory\file.txt), then if the column is too small, the cell just reads C:\Windows\So...

I need it to truncate from the other side, so it reads ...ctory\file.txt. Is this possible?

That's not really what I'm looking for. The text was just an example. The text would have to truncate depending on how much space was available in the cell.

try this peace of code:

string x = @"C:\Windows\So" + Environment.NewLine + @"ctory\file.txt";
MessageBox.Show(x);
