two lines on a button

[Bert]

I made a example script to show what I'm attempting:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

GuiCreate("MyGUI", 392, 323,-1, -1 , BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))

$Button_1 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Button1" & @CRLF & "test", 30, 30, 160, 70)

GuiSetState()
While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    Case Else
        ;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd
Exit

I want the button to be displayed so it says "button 1" above the word "test", instead of in one line, which it does now. Any ideas? I could do a pic, but I like to stay away from that, for I want to be able to change the text of the button depending on how a ini setting is configured.

Edit:I also know I can use $BS_MULTILINE, but that won't do what I want. I need to set what text is on each line, not just have it wrap

I came up with this, but the second line is to the left. I need that line to be centered also. The second line will have the variable text, so using spaces won't do it.

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

GuiCreate("MyGUI", 392, 323,-1, -1 , BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))

$Button_1 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Button1" & @CRLF & "test", 30, 30, 150, 70, $BS_CENTER + $BS_MULTILINE)
GuiSetState()
While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    Case Else
        ;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd
Exit

does the same thing. It will put the word "test" to the left, at the same indent as the word "button". How do I make the word "test" be centered on the button?

example of what it is doing now:

Strange, they are both centred on my computer.

Running latest release on win xp pro sp2

Edit - typo

odd. I have SP2, and ...wait...let me update with the latest beta.

edit...nope...still happening..

anyone else tried the example to see if it works? It may just be my PC

I have Windows 2003 Server SP1, same as yours.

I'm running the the latest release (which isn't beta in case you didn't know ) and I get the

same as you volleyman. I'm also running WinXP SP2.

I tried both sets of code on my PC, they were both centered...

*EDIT: What about Scite? Updated as well?

[Bert]

yep, latest SciTe also. This is odd. Would this be a bug?

[BigDod]

I have figured out what the problem is. If I change to Windows classic theme I get the same as you but using the Windows XP theme I get it centred. I do not know how to fix it so that it is the same for both.

[BPBNA]

Looks like that is the problem... weird. I'm running WinXP SP2 with XP theme and its centered.

Edit: what about $BS_CENTER? From the help file - "Centers the text horizontally in the button rectangle." I tried switching to classic to test it, but it stayed the same even without the $BS_CENTER... I didn't restart though.
