Hi Everyone,
I'm having a problem trying to place text with in my custom buttons. The
problem is that I'm trying to display my text just as if it were a regular
'win' button, I have tried using Rectangle (which is good) & also by
inputting regular attributes. The thing is that, it is unknown how many
words will be displayed & breaks between the words, if there are any.at
runtime. I have tried developing the syntax to account for all possibilities
but it seems endless.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem of mine? I also have tried
surfing Bob Powell's site for info. My code is as follows. Thanks all in
advance.
