Anyone know how to put a simple line break in a string for example:

I want strTitle to be on one line and strMetaKeywords to be underneath it when the appear in the textbox txtTitleBarCode!
I've googled it and only gotten answer that invlove min of 40 lines of code!
All help appreiated!

txtTitleBarCode.Text = strTitle + strMetaKeywords

Mutant_Fruit

txtTitleBarCode.Text = strTitle + "\r\n" + strMetaKeywords.

Make sure its a multline textbox aswell.

Tried that but it just prints out \r\n in the text box and it is set as multi line!

I think this is what you want

I think that Mutant_Fruit is thinking of Java!!!

The syntax is

			 				txtTitleBarCode.Text = txtTitle & vbNewLine & txtMetaKeyWords

You could also replace vbNewLine with vbCrLf, but it would do the exact same thing

Note that in Visual Basic for joining strings you should use & instead of +. Even though it will work with +, and many people use the + out of habit because that is the proper syntax in Java, C# and C++, but in Visual Basic it is the &

txtTitleBarCode.Text = strTitle & VbCrLf & strMetaKeywords

Test it by echoing in a MsgBox first
