Title: Multiline button text
Post by: slarge on October 26, 2021, 04:43:58 PM

I want to place a large button with two lines of text on it. Is there any way to include a line break in the button text to split it into multiple lines? And if not, is there another way to achieve this?

That depends on which EVE you are using.
BT81x have OPT_FILL: "breaks the text at spaces into multiple lines, with maximum width set by CMD_FILLWiDTH."

With FT8xx however you could just use print multiple lines of text over an empty button.
Just make sure to use the same tag.

CLEAR(1, 1, 1)
COLOR_RGB(255, 255, 255)
TAG(20)
CMD_BUTTON(200, 200, 100, 100, 27, 0, "")
CMD_TEXT(250, 220, 28, OPT_CENTERX, "Text1")
CMD_TEXT(250, 250, 28, OPT_CENTERX, "Text2")

Or skip the button entirely and draw two rectangles on top of each other with different colors and
the second one smaller to get a frame and write text over it.

Or well, use a picture.
