Does the LabVIEW TestStand UI button control support multi-line captions?

[RyanWright]

I would like the caption of a LabVIEW TestStand UI button control to wrap onto two lines (multi-line) instead of being confined to a single line.  For example, instead of the caption looking like:

Loop On Selected Steps...

I would like it to appear like this:

Loop On Selected

        Steps...

I have plenty of vertical space on my TestStand operator interface but my horizontal space is limited, so it would be preferrable to grow buttons vertically instead of horizontally.

Upon further investigation, it looks like this is a bug (or a "feature change") in TestStand 4.0.  The TestStand 3.5 UI button control automatically placed text on succesive lines if the width of the button decreased below the size required to accomodate all of the caption text on a single line.  However, this is no longer the case in TestStand 4.0.  TestStand 4.0 does not place text on successive lines when the button size decreases below the threshold.  I cannot figure out any way to place button captions on multiple lines using the 4.0 UI button control, including setting the caption programmatically with a carriage return inserted between successive text lines.

James,

Any idea when this problem will be fixed?  I need to know whether to rework my operator interface or wait for the fix.

Thanks,

Ryan
