It is interesting that Microsoft has shifted their guidance a bit in recent years—they now explicitly call out the case where something can be canceled as a case where ellipses should be used:
"Proper use of ellipses is important to indicate that users can make further choices before performing the action, or even cancel the action entirely. The visual cue offered by an ellipsis allows users to explore your software without fear."
There are some basic guidelines provided by Microsoft for Windows applications here, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn742402(v=vs.85).aspx#designconcepts
It would be good for us to provide a little more detail for our applications.
Some uses cases to address (not exhaustive):
Should ellipses be shown in tips for icon buttons? I think so, but worth discussing.
Are there other uses cases to consider?
