Ability to have a newline in a pulldown bundle.

[martinservold]

I'd like a way to wrap text on a pulldown bundle (hopefully would work for pulldown/ splitbutton/ splitpushbutton)

My suggestion to accomplish this would be:

Have a special group of characters (My suggestion is "___". Three underscores) that prompts a new line during extension building/reload.

This special character group could live in the folder name
EX: Folder name is: (Place Views___on Sheets.pulldown)

OR

This special character group could live in the _layout file
EX: Folder name is: (Place Views on Sheets.pulldown) but in the _layout file you call for: (Place Views ___on Sheets) and it will recognize the difference and put in a newline.

Interesting. Suggesting implementation using tags in _layout file:

Example:
This would be the modified layout file for Pick.splitpushbutton tool:

[title:Pick\nElements]
Pick
Pick Detail Elements
Pick Model Elements

This conforms to the already existing standard of using location tags in _layout file. e.g. pyRevitTags extension uses the tags to position its panel in pyRevit tab Packages & Tags[before:Modify]

That's probably a better way to handle it than my suggestion.

Implemented slightly differently than suggested above.

Final implementation allows user to define the title layout directive inside layout file. For setting the title of a pulldown button for example, the layout file of the parent panel should be modified.

Example: This is the layout file of the pyRevit > Drawing Set panel setting the title for the Sheets pulldown button:

Sheets[title:Sheet\nTools]
Revision
Keynotes
views
-----
Print

pyRevit processes these directives on load time and will set the button title to the new value:

Will be shipped in v4.6.13
