Test UUTs button text on two lines

I'm customizing the TestStand (4.0) Operator Interface (labview version).  Is there a way to force the text in entry point 1 & 2 buttons, and the text in the "Run MainSequence" button to appear on two lines instead of all in one.  It's not too big a deal for Test UUTs, but in the case of "Run MainSequence", I have several other sequences that have fairly lengthy names, and the text is too large for the button.  I don't want to autosize this button due to some other nearby controls.

mrbean,

the text, which is displayed within the button, is read from a TS configuration (language) file. So you have two choices:
a) alter the text to be displayed in the processmodel. You can achieve this be opening the processmodel, select the entrypoint whose string you want to change, select Edit > Sequence Properties and change to "Model" tab. Change the "Entry Point Name Expression" to a static string to your desire.
b) The default entry in the expressionwindow stated in a) lets TS read out the appropriate key in the ini-file which contains the section (should be something with UI). Just change the entry within the ini-file at the key. But be careful to copy the ini-file to the user's directory first!

To achieve a new line, just insert '\n' at the point where the new line should start (just like C)

hope this helps,
Norbert
