Word wrapped TButton (Views: 2141)
Problem/Question/Abstract: Word wrapped TButton Answer: If you want to have your TButton objects displayed with wrapped caption, you will notice that this is not possible - not possible without a little trick. Of course, you could search the web for some third-party component, but there's an easier way to accomplish this. Just follow these steps: Put a TButton with empty caption on your form; Create a TLabel with your desired caption and place it anywhere on the form; Display the form as text (Alt+F12) and it will look as on the left side in the table; Move the TLabel declaration into the TButton and change the coordinates since it is now relative to the button; (idea from Richard B. Winston:) Select the button and then "Component|Create Component Template". After you choose a name and palette page for the template, you will be able to select the button with embedded label from the component palette and use it just like any other component.
