To ensure ...: none that I'm aware of :-( But if you set the alignment properly, you can get longer labels to wrap, something like my_button->align(FL_ALIGN_CENTER|FL_ALIGN_INSIDE|FL_ALIGN_WRAP), and maybe FL_ALIGN_CLIP as well. If that doesn't help, then you could try to reduce the label font size. You can use fl_measure() [1] to test, if the label fits. From the docs: "If the incoming w is non-zero it will wrap to that width." You could derive your own button widget (if you didn't do so already) and adjust the label font in the resize() method, for instance. If you do it with some reasonable limits, this might be okay. YMMV.
