You need to override Button's updateDisplayList() method. Take a look at the source code for this method. In the two places where it gets and sets textField.text, try changing it to textField.htmlText.

Using internal textfield... Hi, I'm trying to put html text into a button. I've subclassed a button component, and tried to modify the internal textfield as in the docs it says that the textfield is the internal textfield that the label works with. I try: this.textField.text = this.category.getId(); this.textField.htmlText = this.category.getId(); And nothing happens. I do this.label = this.category.getId() and everything shows up fine. Anyone have a clue? Is the internalTextfield for a button not really affect the label of a button? - Austin
