JavaFX Button with multiple text lines

Question

I need to create a toolbar in my screen that will have multiple buttons, and each button must have multiple lines of Text. For example:

I looked over the internet and StackOverflow but I couldn't find anything showing how to do this in JavaFX. I'm using JavaFX 8.

Someone could help me, please?

Tks

Answer 1

Also you can use the wrapTextProperty. But you have to set toolbar height greater than expected button height.

Button btn = new Button();
btn.wrapTextProperty().setValue(true);
// or btn.setWrapText(true);
btn.setText("Some looooooooooooong text");

Or if you want to determine exactly where the line should be wrapped, you can go this way:

Button btn = new Button();
btn.setText("Line1\n Line2\n Line3");

Last way will work without changing toolbar height.

Answer 2

I resolved this problem including a VBox inside my button, and then including several Labels inside the VBox. Like this:

The result is:

If there is a more elegant way to have the same result, please, let me know. Thank you.

Answer 4

From sobolev's response, you can do:

Button btn = new Button();
btn.setText("Line1\n Line2\n Line3");
button.textAlignmentProperty().set(TextAlignment.CENTER);

This will create 3 lines of text and allign them in the center of your button.
