I have a push button, I want to write the name of it from the next line because its too long so how can we do it... I mean I think there's some coding or any thing else. Just if we want to label a button we take it properties and in the label properties we write its name but if the name is too long then it does not come from the next line..We have to maximize the button so the full name comes....How we can do this thing that the name comes from the next line....

Code it! In the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger (for example), have something like this:

set_item_property('push_button_name', label,
                  'This is a button '  || chr(10) ||
                  'with a very, very ' || chr(10) ||
                  'long label'
                 );

Make sure that the button's height is large enough!

I can't imagine what you are talking about. Could you attach a screenshot, please? Make sure it is a JPG or a PNG image file.

You can't. All copies of a button have the same label. If you want a button on each line to have a different label then you have to define separate buttons and populate each one separately.
