[2.0]Shorten Listview Item Text?

Hey guys, is there a way to shorten the text of a Listview item automatically (as in "This is a sent...")?

Theres options to wrap the text or not, but nothing about shortening it.. which makes me think I'm going to have to do it manually. :\

Thanks inadvance.

How are you populating your ListView? Binding it to a datasource?
