Description

The $DT_PATH_ELLIPSIS and $DT_END_ELLIPSIS constants are cross-set in WindowsConstants.au3 as can be sen here:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$sPath = "C:\I am a very long path\Which needs to be\Shortened to fit\In the label.txt"

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Using $DT_PATH_ELLIPSIS:", 10, 10, 200, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel($sPath, 10, 40, 300, 30, $DT_PATH_ELLIPSIS)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xCCCCFF)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("MSDN says:" & @CRLF & _
				   "'replaces characters in the middle of the string with ellipses so that the result fits in the specified rectangle'", 10, 80, 480, 40)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Using $DT_END_ELLIPSIS:", 10, 200, 200, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel($sPath, 10, 230, 300, 30, $DT_END_ELLIPSIS)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xCCFFCC)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("MSDN says:" & @CRLF & _
				   "'if the end of a string does not fit in the rectangle, it is truncated and ellipses are added'", 10, 270, 480, 40)

Looking at the values for the 2 constants, they are set correctly, they're just working backwards.

Values are correctly set.
Microsoft SDK define values inside WinUser.h from where they are taken.

The values are set correctly, but they're working backwards.

If you run the example script you will see that the $DT_PATH_ELLIPSIS example shows the ellipse is at the end of the line, and that the $DT_END_ELLIPSIS example shows the ellipse is in the middle of the line. The bug isn't in the constants file, the bug is in the execution of the label function.

Replying to BrewManNH:

The values are set correctly, but they're working backwards.

If you run the example script you will see that the $DT_PATH_ELLIPSIS example shows the ellipse is at the end of the line, and that the $DT_END_ELLIPSIS example shows the ellipse is in the middle of the line. The bug isn't in the constants file, the bug is in the execution of the label function.

Unless I don't understand the code, Autoit is not changing the $DT_..._ELLIPSIS value when creating a label so the inversion must be inside the Microsoft Windows code.
I remember googling and founding some forums wondering about this inversion.

So, it's a Windows bug and not an AutoIt bug? I get it now.
