Detailed Description

A specialized QPushButton that displays an ellipsis when its text is larger than the button width.

If the text string displayed in the button is longer than the width of the button, an ellipsis is drawn based on the elide mode returned by getElideMode(). To allow the button to resize smaller than the text string, a minimum size must be set (e.g. QWidget::setMimimumWidth()).
