vb text box

CivilServant · 2002-09-07 20:50:06

I have an annoying little problem. I can't get a carriage return to work in a text box. I use Chr(13) to get the carriage return but all that appears is something like ¦ a little vertical black line. It's really annoying. Can anyone help?

For windows you need a Line Feed character (10) as well as the Carraige Return (13) - vbCrLf does that -

txtStuff.text = "line one" & vbCrLf & "line two"

www.planet-source-code.com is a useful resource sometimes, despite the terrible layout.

That, google, and the programming board right here should take care of almost any question you might have.
