How to add text to the button
As you can see on the image below you have the possibility to enter at the same time up to 9 different texts over the button surface, each with its own fonts, settings and colors.
The simplest way to put text over the button is to use the
Caption property which displays the text horizontally and vertically centered.
When the caption text is too long to fit horizontally in the button area (determined by the surrounding rectangle) it will wraps automatically: to force the caption text to wrap differently, use the
CaptionWordWrapPerc property.
If you need to change all of the buttons text settings inside a container at once, you can use the
abmContainerTextSetting.
In case you should manage UNICODE strings of text, you can predispose the SDK to receive them in the right format using the
abmUseUnicodeStrings function.
If you need to change all of the buttons font settings inside a container at once, you can use the
abmContainerFontSetting.
If the user needs to hide some of these texts it is possible to use the
abmSetTextVisible function.
Use the following properties to change the button caption text colors:
ForeColor property to change the color of the button's caption text.
ForeColorMouseOver property to change the color of the button's caption text when the mouse is over the button area.
ForeColorPressed property to change the color of the button's caption text when the button is pressed.
ForeColorDisabled property to change the color of the button's caption text when the button is disabled.
NOTE: starting from version 8 of the control, you can add further texts through the use of "cells": see the
How to manage cells section for details.
