Multiline text on RadButton

[Jaakko]

Hello,

I have tried to set the text property in code-behind to "\n", Environment.Newline, Server.HtmlDecode("Carriage
return");
and "<br />" but nothing has created multiline text on RadButton. My searching for answers has also found the aspx
templating : 
<ContentTemplate>

        <span>RadButton Content</span><br />
<span>RadButton Content2</span>

 </ContentTemplate>

but even this is not giving me multiple lines.
Is there any other workaround for this ?

For me it is absolutely important to set the text in code behind by accesssing a property
and therefore I believe that I can't use <ContentTemplate>.

What should I do ?

Hi Jaakko,

Please try the following code snippet which set the multiline text for RadButton in code behind.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadButton runat="server" ID="RadButton1" Width="70px" Height="65px" />

C#:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadButton1.Text = "This is \n a new line";
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

Yes I have tried that:

ASPX

<telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton1" runat="server" Text="RadButton" Image-ImageUrl="~/Images/button.png" Width="300" Height="90">
   </telerik:RadButton>

C#

RadButton1.Text = "Test \n Test2";
RadButton1.Image.IsBackgroundImage = true;

Attached is the resulting button, without multiple lines.
This bothers me, I was able to do multiline with Templating :

<ContentTemplate>
            <div class = "buttonStyle">
                <telerik:RadBinaryImage ID="RadBinaryImage1" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Images/compatible_firefox.gif" />
            </div>
            <div class = "buttonStyle">
                <span class="btnText">
                    Test1</span>
                <span class="btnText">
                    Test2</span>
            </div>
        </ContentTemplate>

CSS:

.btnText {
     display: block;
     line-height: 20px;
     text-align:left;
     color: #fff;
     font-size:larger;

}
.buttonStyle
{
    float:left;
    margin: 10px 0px 0px 10px;
}

Hi Jaakko,

I tried the following approach to solve the issue.

C#:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl text1 = (System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl)RadButton1.FindControl("span1");
    text1.InnerText = "test1";
    System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl text2 = (System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl)RadButton1.FindControl("span2");
    text2.InnerText = "test2";
}

Hope this will help you.

Thanks,
Shinu.

Thank You Shinu.

I will try to use the FindControl approach.
This needs more code and is not so elegant as would have been
inserting just some formatting in the text string.
