Description Curtis d'Entremont CLA 2003-06-25 15:57:39 EDT 
If the currently selected item's text in a CCombo is too long to fit in the 
text area of the widget, then the CCombo displays the end of the string. For 
example, if the text is "Have a nice day", and the CCombo can only hold 8 
chars, then is shows:

[nice day]

while the native Combo's I've seen would display the start.. i.e.:

[Have a n]

Shouldn't CCombo be doing the same?

There may be no SWT API to get this effect.
