I would like to have 2 or more lines of text appear on a button control instead of 1 long line. I've tried using the pipe(|) character without success. Is there a special character or symbol that will break the button label into several lines?

Thanks,

Jim

Jim,

Pitiful as it may seem, I believe the only way to accomplish this is to create a BMP to look the way you want your button to.

Is that the only way to make the buttons different colors as well?

CT,

I think so. You can change the FORECOLOR, though (the colour of the button text).

Btw - One can set "System Colors" for buttons, but that only affects their FORECOLOR.

Btw 2 - since BACKCOLOR for windows work if and only if 3D Controls is unticked, one is tempted to think unticking helps for button BACKCOLOR too. It doesn't. It actually makes things worse since button FORECOLOR stops working.

What we've had to do is both of these things:

To change the Color, make a bitmap with the color you want and assign it to the Button (specifying Tiled as opposed to Clip). Then combine Text and Bitmap to put the text on the button. The only rub is that you can only get one line of text!!

If you need something else, plan #2 comes in.

Drag out your copy of paint or whatever and make your own buttons (that's pretty ugly but it works). You can then use whatever colors and text you want.
