If your controls inherits from button class, you can use the AutoEllipsis property of the button class itself.

Otherwise, you will have to do MeasureString on the text and compare the width it with the width of control. If the text width is more than controls, get a suitable substring of it and place "...". You should also implement a tooltip so that full text is shown with mouse hover happens.
