Hi!

I just took a notice that button captions in VFP8's ToolBox are left-aligned. Your button is not the same as ToolBox's :-)

How about following:

.Caption = 'Short text' + SPACE(200)

This is a trick to left-align button's caption that comes from previous versions of VFP.

That's how I got it look similar to ToolBox's buttons.

HTH.
