What kind of text field are you referring to? In which OS do you want to do this?
The following works on a linux box:

Code: [Select]


procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  TButton(Sender).Caption := 'This text and'#10'this text on a new'#10'line';
end;

Under windows you would have to add #13 as well.

also

Code: [Select]


procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  TButton(Sender).Caption := 'This text and'+LineEnding+'this text on a new'+LineEnding+'line';
end;


would work crossplatform.

Ok, it works ... but why the text isn't centered on the SpeedButton (he is aligned left and outside the Button) like in Delphi?
