    I need to truncate the text to its container horizontally, but I see no option for that.

    One solution, while is not available, could be to cut the string. How can I get the width of the text and its container for this?.

    Yep, it works with the mask. Just include the mask in the parent object. If you have a toggle, like I do, put the Mask and Image componentes in the toggle and voilá.

    Thanks.
