How to create a small button with three dots?

Question

I want to create a small button with three dots on it, as we see everywhere in the visual studio, to load the FolderBrowserDialog . What is the best way to create this button? The best I did was get a 23x23 button with the margin and indentation set to 0, three dots for the text (only two will appear) and auto-ellipses (which makes the third point). The button is still much larger than we would like, and the dots do not stand out very well.

Answer 1

You can copy the ellipse character (...) from this message or use Alt-0133 to create it on demand.

 Button.Text = "…"; 

The button is still much larger than we would like ...

Adjust the font size?

... and the dots don't stand out very well.

Make the font bold? ( ... )

I suggest that if this does not work for you, the image is the next best.

Answer 2

• Use some dots image.
• ☼☼☼ Use the Windows symbol map to find the points you need and align them / with them in the Text property.

Example: ···

Answer 3

This is what we use: Button.Text = "..." .

If it is too large, you can adjust the font size down.

Answer 4

Set the Text button to ... and change its Size property. You can also change the font of the button if necessary.
