Add #13#10 to a string

[shineworld 73]

It is embarrassing but I was not able to set a multiline text in a Button Caption.

Usually in Delphi is only necessary to:

MyButton.Caption = 'first line' + #13#10 + 'second line'

What to get same behaviour in Python + DelphiVCL ?

In Python a \n usually does the trick. As per your example:

caption = 'First line \n second line'

Note that there is no need to concatenate the string.

As an aside, even in Delphi there is no such need. You can write

'first line'#13#10'second line'

And even then, concatenation of literals is performed by the compiler, so the above code would result in the same codegen as

'first line' + #13#10 + 'second line'

Finally, it is usually preferable to use sLineBreak rather than #13#10 so that your code is more expressive, and platform independent.

Thanks for the replies.

I've also missed to set WordWrap to True in button properties 🙂
