Right now, the only thing I can think of to anycodings_buttonbar do is, after the bar renders, scan across anycodings_buttonbar all the buttons for the tallest one, and anycodings_buttonbar then adjust every other button accordingly. (If I use two lines, I get less wasted anycodings_buttonbar space, which is good, but the single-line anycodings_buttonbar text ceases to be centered, which also looks anycodings_buttonbar awful.) This anycodings_buttonbar creates a situation where the small buttons anycodings_buttonbar are swimming in space: I can cheat, after a fashion by splitting anycodings_buttonbar each button up into three lines. The buttons are different heights! I would anycodings_buttonbar like the ButtonBar to give me well-regulated anycodings_buttonbar buttons, like so: The buttons in the bar wrap their text, when anycodings_buttonbar it's too large, as they should, but I end up anycodings_buttonbar with this dumb situation: I'm anycodings_buttonbar using a ButtonBar to display them.

You can define a button bar to display multiple buttons and popover buttons horizontally or vertically.
