Topic: CUI - Create MultiLine Text for Ribbon Button

[Keith Brown]

Has anyone had any luck inserting multi line text into a ribbon button?  The article below says it is as easy as just inserting a \r in your text but I am finding that it is not working.  It just displays the \r and doesn't insert a carriage return.  Anyone else try this?

Take a look at this thread, be sure to read the entire thing.
I just tested it and it still works in 2013.

I figured out what my problem was.  I was trying to add the \r or \n to the command name and not the button on the panel.  DOH!  As soon as I added it to the button instead of the command both of them worked just fine.  Thanks again for the help!

Yea, it took me a few times to figure it out too.

As as side note, I would prefer that the CUI buttons just have a "width" property, and then the text would just wrap as needed based on the button width.
Having to go in and specifically tell each string to wrap is nonsense.
