Guys, having a mental block - Anyone can tell me how to create a button with text in two columns:

For example:

SELECT
DVD

as opposed to : SELECT DVD


Thanks, greatly appreciated.

Easy fix...

Thanks. I guess there is no "official" way to do it. However, it does let you wrap text labels by just clicking on the arrow and continuing your text on the next few lines. I get it.

Thank for the help.

Jimmy & Evohome-

Thanks for that little exchange! I have wanted a word wrap feature many times and, never finding one, assumed that it couldn't be done. Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate how to do it, evo. You're right...easy fix. :)

No problem guys, no problem

As a follow up, since another user just asked about this and got bumped here, I've had a lot of frustration with this fix. It works about half the time, so I wonder if there's more to it.

I can always make the two lines of text look just right on my screen, but the download to the Q50 is very erratic. On some buttons, the two lines look exactly right on the remote screen, but on others, there's no label at all, and still others have just the last letter of each line over at the edge of the button. I've spent too much time trying to get this to work reliably, but so far no one approach consistently works.

The best bet seems to be to add only the exact number of spaces necessary to force a second line. But even then, I get too many blank buttons. And that method is awfully time consuming. Any suggestions?

(I have one: Nevo really needs to add an automatic word wrap that keeps text within the button margins. Seems like a no-brainer to me.)

That's good info, about the wraparound.

I have also used "Add Label" command and create two labels and place on the button, mess with the font, color, etc. Sometimes easier than trying to get wraparound to work, etc.

Then choose the two labels and copy/paster to other buttons, etc.

I have maybe twenty buttons like this on my remote, and have set up others the same way, and have never had a problem... Weird...

Really? That is weird. Yeah, on many of the buttons, it looks perfect in the program but the button ends up blank on the remote. Very annoying when a page seems just right but one button doesn't have a label.

I'll have to look into the "Add label" command just mentioned. I'm not sure what that is. Still sounds like there's a crying need for simple word-wrap capability in the next NSP update. :)

Thanks, guys.

Got it, Dave! Thanks for the tip. Still a workaround, but I think it'll add some flexibility to labeling buttons that will very useful for me. Thanks again.
