Hello,
when I use a carriage return in the caption of a TdxRibbonGalleryGroupItem the caption will not be displayed anymore. With earlier versions (v2012.x) this worked fine.
I use the CarriageReturn to "move" the caption a line down from the upper border of the item.
Please see the attached demo: Item1 and Item do not display the Caption Item3 does.
Thank you and best regards,
Michael
We have implemented the functionality described in this ticket. It will be included in our next update(s).
Please check back and leave a comment to this response to let us know whether or not this solution addresses your concerns.
Hello Michael,
In a private comment below there is a patch that should restore the previous behavior (the multi-line caption) for VCL 14.1.4. We will embed this code into our next (VCL 14.1.5) release. However, I should mention that after researching this scenario, we concluded that this behavior cannot be considered a bug. Using the approach with shifting the caption down by adding the Carriage Return character to the item caption used to work accidentally with old builds. This functionality is undocumented and it should not work this way by design. The intended behavior was a single line caption only (as in MS Office). So, we cannot guarantee that this approach will work with all future versions of our controls. I suggest that you consider redesigning your project in the future to display a single text line as an item caption.
Hello Paulo,
thank you very much for providing the patch!
Is there any other suggested way to shift down the captions? I would appreciate it before using a blank line before the caption. If another solution does not exist at the moment I would like to place a suggestion to introduce a top margin for the caption and the description of GalleryGroupItems - like the size. This would provide a nearly free vertical positioning - for those who needs it ;-)
Hello Michael,
I am happy to hear that this patch helps. There is no other way to implement this vertical shift. Moreover, MS Office UI does not provide this functionality, so even if you post a suggestion regarding this feature, I doubt that it will be implemented ever.

This behaviour applies also to v2014.1.4
Hello Michael,
I have compiled your sample code with v2012 vol 2.10 and observed the same caption behavior as with VCL 14.1.4. Attached is the resulting executable file. Would you please clarify what exact version of our controls works as you wish?
Hi Paulo,
the version is VCL 13.1.5 compiled with DelphiXE. But I do not compile this demo. I compile our application. Please see attached image.
Is there an other may to move the caption and the description down by one line each? Then I would not need the carriage return in the caption.
I mixed up my versions. The last version it worked is v2011 vol 1.6
Thank you for your clarification. I see that in v2011 vol 1.6 the appearance is different. I have forwarded this ticket to our developers for research.
