Multi-Line Button Labels in Forms 6i [message #332170]

I have a button that needs to have 2 words on it "Lube Additions", but there is not quite enough horizontal space for a button that long. I do have the vertical space on the form to make the button taller and not as long if I can put one word above the other.

Is it possible to create a multi-line button label in Forms 6i?

I tried adding a return to the Label property in the Property Palette for the button. I also tried using

set_item_property('block.button_name', LABEL, 'Lube'|| chr(10) ||'Additions');

but that didn't work either. I got both words, but on just one line with a dark vertical mark between the words.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dan

Concatenation of strings with CHR(10) works in Forms 9i and above.

In 6i, you might create an icon which would show text in several lines and attach this icon to the button. Or, alternatively, use Javabean.
