Detailed Description

A version of a wxStaticText control that will request a smaller size than the full string.

This can be used with the ellipsization styles to ensure that the control will actually ellipsize properly inside sizer elements (since they ask for the best size but GTK reports the best size as being the full string length, even when ellipsization is enabled). This work around is discussed in upstream ticket https://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/18992.
