I'm sure this is something simple, but I couldn't find an answer using the forum search, or in the examples.

How do I turn on word wrapping for a button?

One option to get text of button more interesting is to make it QTF. You can do it for most labels by prepending text with "\1" (works in Layout designer too), in that case text is interpreted as QTF.

I can't seem to figure out how to do this in the layout designer. Where exactly do I put the \1?

If I have

SetLabel(t_("IST/ISR Input Screen"))

where do I tell it to use QTF?

I'm sorry, I just don't understand QTF/RTF at all. I thought it would be simpler to turn on word wrap in a button instead of having to increase the size of the button or reduce the text size to make it fit.

Okay, after playing around a bit, I can get the text to wrap, but it's not optimal, and it looks bad, as the second line doesn't center.

Before:

SetLabel(t_("IST/ISR Input Screen"))

After:

SetLabel(t_("IST/ISR Input \n Screen"))

Forgive my questions, but it's been about 5 years since I've done any C++ programming, and 5 years ago I was still learning.

I don't have a very good handle on things like structs, vectors, templates, and several other things.
