    textbox newline

    How do create a new line in a text box.

    If I put \n in my string, and set .Text to the
    value of the string, a carriage return character is displayed literally,
    but it doesn't actually start on a new line in the textbox.

      Use \r\n.

          If you do it programatically "Something\r\nW icked" it will show up as a
          newline but not if you go through the designer. Also, ensure that you don't
          have the @ (literal string) in front of it.

                  Thanks -- I left off the \r and just put in the \n

                  Now it works !!!

                  Thanks Bob.

                      Not many of them...

                      \\ literal backslash
                      \n literal newline
                      \r literal carriage return
                      \t literal horizontal tab
                      \v literal vertical tab
                      \" literal double-quote

                      \v is recognized but you can't use it in a text box.
