SUMMARY
Visual FoxPro 5.0 has a new WordWrap property for command buttons that allows you to create command buttons with multiple-line captions.



MORE INFORMATION
Use the following steps to create multiple-line captions for your command buttons:

 Drop a command button on a form. Do not adjust its size. Set the caption to the following string:

This is a real long caption to see if this works

 Set the WordWrap property of the command button to .T. Set the AutoSize property to .T.

Visual FoxPro adjusts the command button's size vertically to accommodate the caption text. If you adjust the width of the button manually, the vertical size adjusts. You cannot manually adjust the vertical size of the button. In some cases it may appear that there is a blank line at the top and bottom of the button. Set the AutoSize property to false to adjust the size of the button vertically. Now you can remove the extra line.
