Dennis The following is a line copied out of the OnCreateForm procedure of the form on which the BitBtn is located: BitBtn1.Caption := 'Line1'#$0D#$0A'Line2'; (have also tried all the similar variations suggested by others) I have tried several different fonts - no go. Using D3. Have tried with and without a bitmap on the button - same result. Guess I'll have to cave in and do as you suggest and create a text bitmap. Thanks for your help Mark Dennis Chuah wrote: > Mark, > > Button.Caption := 'Line1'#$0D#$0A'Line2'; > > definitely works for me. What font are you using? What version of Delphi > are you using?
