Hello all,

 Currently I have a script that will display a big button as part of a GUI. After creating the Gui I create the button using GUICtrlCreateButton(). The first parameter which is the text, I have a lot of text in which I have several carriage return/line feeds (see below). But when I do this in a button text it does not do a new line (the whole string is one line). Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

$Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("-- First Line of text" & @CRLF & @CRLF & "-- 2nd line of txt" & @CRLF & @CRLF & "-- 3rd line", 1, 1, 798, 600, 0x0400)

I'm surprised that style exists, as buttons should be used for an action.

That works, thanks. I noticed when using Bitor applying extra styles doesn't work. I tried BitOR($BS_MULTILINE, $BS_BOTTOM) but everything is still at the top. I also noticed there does not seem to be a left justify. Any idea how to do that?

$Button = GUICtrlCreateButton(@CRLF & "-- First Line of txt" & @CRLF & @CRLF & "-- 2nd line of txt" & @CRLF & @CRLF & "-- 3rd line", 1, 1, 798, 600, BitOR($BS_MULTILINE, $BS_BOTTOM) )

$bs_bottom works...you probably just don't see it...add a lot of height:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $Button_1, $Button_2, $msg
    GUICreate("My GUI Button") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

    Opt("GUICoordMode", 2)
    $Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Run Notepad" & @CRLF & "Run Notepad" & @CRLF & "Run Notepad", 10, 30, 100,100, bitor($BS_MULTILINE,$BS_BOTTOM))
    $Button_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button Test", 0, -1)

    GUISetState() ; will display an  dialog box with 2 button

    ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
