I don't know if I'm being stupid, but what about this code ?

TRect r;

r.Left = 0;
r.Top = 0;
r.Right = lb->Width - 20;
r.Bottom = lb->ItemHeight;

if(!DrawText(lb->Canvas->Handle, cFileName.c_str(), cFileName.Length(), &r, 
DT_MODIFYSTRING | DT_PATH_ELLIPSIS))
    return;
else
    lb->Items->Add(cFileName);
