Truncates a file path to fit within a given pixel width by replacing path components with ellipses
#include <WinAPIShPath.au3>
_WinAPI_PathCompactPath ( $hWnd, $sFilePath [, $iWidth = 0] )
| $hWnd | Handle to the window used for font metrics. |
| $sFilePath | The path to be modified. |
| $iWidth | [optional] The width, in pixels, in which the string must fit. If this parameter is 0 (Default), width will be equal to the width of the window's client area. If this parameter is a negative number, the width will be decreased to its absolute value. |
| Success: | The modified path. |
| Failure: | The original $sFilePath parameter and sets the @error flag to non-zero. |
This function will not compact the path beyond the base file name preceded by ellipses.
