I once made something like that for a Rankingboard, maybe its what you need.

It works fine for me, but you should probably not use it inside a render function.

function RankingBoard.dxClipTextToWidth(text, width) 
  
    while dxGetTextWidth(text, RankingBoard.fontSize, RankingBoard.font, true) > width do 
     
        text = text:sub(1, #text-1) 
     
    end 
     
    return text 
  
end

function Dltsx(data,x) 
if type(data)=="string" then 
while #data > x do 
data = data:sub(1, #data-1) 
end 
return data..".." 
else 
return false 
end 
end 
  
outputChatBox(Dltsx("MTAsangoodplayers",7)) 

Thank you very much !
