SftButton/OCX 3.0 - Button Control

Text Property, SftButton Object

Defines the control's caption.

Syntax

Get

Put

object

A SftButton object.

Text

Defines the control's caption.

Comments

The Text property defines the control's caption.

The caption can include an accelerator key. By using the & character in the Text property, the following character becomes an accelerator key. If the user types Alt plus the defined accelerator key, the control receives the input focus and the Click event occurs.

For example, if the Text property is set to "&Help", the displayed caption will read "Help", i.e., the H is underlined. If the user types Alt+h, the Click event occurs. To display an & character use "&&".

If the AllowFocus property is set to False, the control does not support accelerator keys.

The text component of the button label can contain more than one line of text. By using carriage-return and line-feed characters, multiple lines can be defined.

The layout of the button label and the position and alignment of the text component are defined using the Orientation, TextAlignHorz and Image1AlignVert properties.

For detailed information on the use of the Orientation, Image1, Image1AlignHorz, Image1AlignVert, Image2, Image2AlignHorz, Image2AlignVert, Text, TextAlignHorz, TextAlignVert properties, please see "Button Label".

// If you add a minimize button to your dialog, you will need the code below
//  to draw the icon.  For MFC applications using the document/view model,
//  this is automatically done for you by the framework.
