If you want to have your TButton objects displayed with wrapped caption, you will notice that this is not possible - not possible without a little trick...

Difficulty Level: easy      Time Required: 5 minutes

1. Start Delphi and select File | New Application...
2. Put a TButton on your form.
3. In the Object Inspector, empty the Caption property.
4. Place a TLabel anywhere on the form
5. In the Object Inspector, set the Caption property (of a Lablel) as you like (the long one).
6. Also, set the WordWrap property to True.
7. Display the form as text (Alt+F12) and it will look like:

   object Button1: TButton
     Left = 176
     Top = 184
     Width = 75
     Height = 25
     Caption = ''
     TabOrder = 2
   end
   object Label1: TLabel
     Left = 200
     Top = 168
     Width = 32
     Height = 13
     Caption = 'My long-long caption'
     WordWrap = True
   end
   ...

8. Move the TLabel declaration into the TButton declaration,
9. Change the coordinates since it is now relative to the button.
10. It should now look like:

    ...
    object Button1: TButton
      Left = 176
      Top = 184
      Width = 75
      Height = 25
      Caption = ''
      TabOrder = 2
      object Label1: TLabel
        Left = 200
        Top = 168
        Width = 32
        Height = 13
        Caption = 'My long-long caption'
        WordWrap = True
      end
    end
    ...

11. Display the form as form.
12. That's it.
    

1. Select the button and then "Component|Create Component Template". After you choose a name and palette page for the template, you will be able to select the button with embedded label from the component palette and use it just like any other component.
