How do I center the text displayed in a CExtHyperLinkButton? Also, is it possible to make the text multiline? I tried doing this in the VS2005 dialog editor, but the changes don’t appear when running the app.

Thank you for reporting the problem. It is already fixed. You can download the latest code from our ftp site or update the CExtHyperLinkButton::OnPaintHyperLink() method in this way:

void CExtHyperLinkButton::OnPaintHyperLink(
    CDC & dc,
    CRect rcText,
    bool bVisited,
    bool bEnabled,
    bool bDrawFocusRect,
    bool bFocus,
    bool bHover,
    bool bPushed
    ) const
{
    ASSERT_VALID( this );
    ASSERT( dc.GetSafeHdc() != NULL );
CExtSafeString strHyperLinkURL = OnQueryHyperLinkURL( true );
    if( strHyperLinkURL.IsEmpty() )
        return;
CRect rcInitial( rcText );
int nOldBkMode = dc.SetBkMode( TRANSPARENT );

HFONT hFont = OnQueryFont();
    if( ! PmBridge_GetPM()->AdjustControlFont(
            hFont,
            (CObject*)this
            )
        )
    {
        LOGFONT _lf;
        ::memset( &_lf, 0, sizeof(LOGFONT) );
        ::GetObject( (HGDIOBJ)hFont, sizeof(LOGFONT), (LPVOID) &_lf );
        if( m_nButtonType == BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON )
            _lf.lfWeight = 
                (_lf.lfWeight > FW_BOLD) 
                    ? _lf.lfWeight 
                    : FW_BOLD;
        if(        ( bHover /*|| bFocus*/ || bPushed )
            &&    GetTextUnderline()
            )
            _lf.lfUnderline = 1;
        hFont = ::CreateFontIndirect( &_lf );
    }
    ASSERT( hFont != NULL );
CFont _fontDestructor;
    _fontDestructor.Attach( hFont );

CFont * pFont = CFont::FromHandle( hFont ); CFont * pFontOld = dc.SelectObject( pFont );
