How can I know if an item in a TableView got truncated (got ellipsis)?

I'm using a TableView. The String data that it needs to display has variable length. How can I know if the String data was too long (and hence got ellipses)?

My guess is to use a custom TableCell (calling setCellFactory()), and in the updateItem() I should query the pixel-width of the data, but I don't know how.

column.setCellFactory(column ->
new TableCell<Transaction, String>()
@Override
protected void updateItem(final String item, final boolean empty)
super.updateItem(item, empty);
setText(item);


if (/*measuredWidth > getWidth()*/)
setTooltip(new Tooltip(item));



);


Any ideas on this?

label.setMinWidth(Region.USE_PREF_SIZE);

column.setCellFactory(col -> new TableCell<Object, String>()

@Override
protected void updateItem(final String item, final boolean empty)

super.updateItem(item, empty);
setText(item);
TableColumn tableCol = (TableColumn) col;

if (item != null)

//I don't know why or if this is scalable, but -10 worked on the edge cases
if (tableCol.getWidth()-10 < new Text(item).getLayoutBounds().getWidth())

setTooltip(new Tooltip(item));



);
