line break in button text and image under button text [message #555315]

Hi,
i want to add line breaks in a button text. The standard escape-sequences ("\n") does not work in this case. Is it not possible to add line breaks?
I set the text with the setText - function.

Addtionally i want to set an image under the button-text but i did not find any solutions for this problem. The picture is always before the button-text and in the same line.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Steffen,

I'm sorry to say, but this is not possible in both SWT. As RAP (RWT) is
trying to be as close as possible to SWT, this is not possible in RAP
too. One possible workaround is to create a button with image only
(without text) and put the text in the image itself.

Best,
Ivan

Thank you for your reply.
Putting the text in the image itself produces the sideffect that you are no longer able to manage multi-language moreover every text change has to be made in the image.

Yes... this is true. Another solution will be to create a custom
widget (Button) with all the functionalities that you need.
See
