wrap button text in xdialog

[Mike Wilson]

I have searched for this and maybe after I post something will show, but nothing to this point. I am trying to wrap button text in an xdialog. I know you can do it placing a button on a form by typing ctrl-enter in the button title under button properties but I can't find the magic with an xdialog button. I didn't find anything under xdialog directives and operators. Thought it might be in the %O% directive, but no. I ran through 123 ASCII characters with the script below and it didn't work. Maybe it's a combination of 2 characters like in sys_send_keys() (^Enter). I tried the most likely and no joy. Anyone know the code to make button text wrap in an xdialog?

dim vR as C
dim z1 as C
dim z2 as C
dim dlg_title as C="Wrapping"
dim dlg_body as C
dim dlg_code as C

for i = 1 to 123
	z1=<<%dg1%
	{Startup=init}{background=#185,150,150}{font=arial,10}{justify=center}
	{font=arial,12,b}{text=i} ;{font=arial,10}
	{lf};
	<50,3Push this button to 
	%dg1%
	
	z2=<<%dg2%
	ring the bell again!bell>  ;
	{lf};
	{line=1,0};
	<Close>
	%dg2%
	
	dlg_body=z1+chr(i)+z2
	
	dlg_code=<<%code%
	IF a_dlg_button="init"
		ui_beep()
		a_dlg_button=""
	END IF

	IF a_dlg_button="bell"
		ui_beep()
	a_dlg_button=""
	END IF

	IF a_dlg_button="close"
		ui_modeless_dlg_close(dlg_title)
	END IF
	%code%
	
	vR=ui_modeless_dlg_box(dlg_title,dlg_body,dlg_code)
	xbasic_wait_for_idle()
	sleep(.3)
	ui_modeless_dlg_close(dlg_title)
next

<50,3Push this button to{LF}ring the bell again!bell> ;

{LF} or {Lf} but not {lf}

Hi Mike:

I think that the only way you can do that is by using the html xdialog command which allows you to pretty much do any formatting and coloring you like. I haven't done it myself yet, it's a whole new thing to learn in V11 but it looks very powerful.

Later .. as usual Tim has a much simpler way.

Hi Tim,
Thanks, works like a charm! And I know now I have read on the MB before... and written almost exactly that same way... and maybe even from you?
