I try to get WordBreak in DCPUSHBUTTON.
Already tryed:

LOCAL cBtnLabel := "First;Second" 
@ 1, 1  DCPUSHBUTTON CAPTION cBtnLabel   SIZE 15,5

and

Code: Select all

LOCAL cBtnLabel := "First" + Chr(10 + Chr(13) + "Second" 
@ 1, 1  DCPUSHBUTTON CAPTION cBtnLabel   SIZE 15,5

and

Code: Select all

LOCAL cBtnLabel := "First Second" 
LOCAL aBtnPres := {{XBP_PP_ALIGNMENT,XBPALIGN_WORDBREAK}}
@ 1, 1  DCPUSHBUTTON CAPTION cBtnLabel   SIZE 15,5 PRESENTATION aBtnPres

No success until now.
What is my mistake?

Did this ever work with standard buttons? I remember I changed buttons to DCPUSHBUTTONXP (ownerdrawing) to get this going, and then I removed it, since two-line-buttons don't look good.

Code: Select all

@1,2 DCPUSHBUTTON CAPTION 'First;Second' SIZE 10,2 ALIGNCAPTION BS_MULTILINE

You forgot the semicolon, which is needed to get this working. And it works.

Tom,
Without a semicolon, the text will break automatically when the button size is reached.

I don't think I ever used that feature and may not have been aware of that.
Yes, it does work very well.
