Printing to another line

Is it possible to set the text of a gadget to more than one line?

For example, the text for a button, I may want to say:

Click here
to accept.

In VisC++, I could set the above text with something like: "Click here\nto accept.", where \n = a new line.

Is there an equivalent way to do this in B+?

Too bad no one here in Blitzville is smart enough to answer my question... :)

I never tryed something like that until now, but perhaps you can try with something similar to visC++.

For example, try to set the text with :

button_text$ = "Click here" + chr(10) + chr(13) + "to accept"

Perhaps it works. Try all the combination of chr(10) and chr(13) - that is, only 10, only 13, first 13 and then 10, and so on.

Hope it helps,
Sergio.

The correct order is chr(13) + chr(10)

Regardless, it doesn't work. I also tried sending the BM_SETSTYLE message to the button with a BS_MULTILINE parameter, but it didn't seem to help either. <shrug>

There is some wierd redraw issue with b+.

When you set the style via sendmessage, try also resizing the button it will probably update.
