Check if a label is ellipsized and then add a tooltip

[Kevin Rushforth]

I don't know of a way to determine whether the text of a labeled is 
currently being displayed truncated with ellipses. There isn't a 
(read-only) overrun or displayedText property, either of which would 
allow an app to know.

The only thing I can think of to work around this is to estimate the 
size that the text would need and compare it to the available size.
