Is there anyway to add Word Wrap to the TColorButton and a Margin so the text does not touch the edge of the button?

Thanks,
Kim

Where are you getting the TColorButton control from ?

It is just descended from TButton.

You need to do it in code for TButton or TColorButton.

 button1.Caption := 'First' + chr(13) + chr(10) + 'Second'  + chr(13) + chr(10) + 'Third';

Kim,

There are going to be some issues doing what you want, primarily because the caption for buttons is assumed to be auto-sizing, and what you're trying to do is going to involve the caption sizing according to its container (in other words, the complete reverse of how it currently works).

I would suggest creating a new control that derives from the TButtonControl class (WebBtns unit) that behaves like you want.  You'll also need to create a new control interface to set up the Caption element accordingly.  You can use the existing TButton control source and control interface to see how this is all set up.

Thanks, I will see if I can do it, I'm a little rusty when it comes to creating controls.
