Command Button text ?

[BuilderSpec]

Does anyone know how to create a command button whose caption can wrap ? So I can split a longer caption over 2 lines ? MS Access does it no problem but I can't get Borland Builder to do it !

Anu ideas ?

You can use for it TBitBtn component. You must clear BitBtn caption, set BitBtn->Glyph->Canvas width and height to required size. Next draw on it using functions like TextOut or TextRect. By this you can make as much lines as you want. Other, easiest but not economic way is to write your text in paint and next load it to Glyph as bitmap. Good luck!!

Oh brother!!!

Unfortunately, there is a much easier way to do this, but I don't have the information with me a the moment. I'm using someone else's computer!
Use a standard button and use the DOS escape code /n for the wordwrap feature. (you may have to use it in code: such as)

char WW

WW = '/n';

Button1->Caption = "First part of line " + WW + "second part of line";


I'll get back to you as soon as I get the correct information

Yes, you can use the \n new line character. This works on a TBitBtn, but not on a TButton.

BitBtn1->Caption = "Hello\nThere";

Will display a button

Hello
There
