View text file in textbox ,same format as label

[gobblegob]

Hi guys,

This is a very hard question to word. Basically i am opening a .txt file
into a label, but sometimes the .txt files are too long and you need to
scroll down. So when i open the txt file into a textbox it is not in the same format as a label , the label seem's to seperate lines and you can read it easier.
any idea's on how to read as the same format as a label

Sorry if i havnt explained properly.

Dim myselect As String
    myselect = List1.Text
    txtCookie.Text = myselect
    
    Dim file_name As String, curr_line As String

    On Error GoTo ERROR_HANDLER
    file_name = App.Path & "\Cookies\" & List1.List(List1.ListIndex)
    Open file_name For Input As #1
      While Not EOF(1)
         Line Input #1, curr_line
         txtCookie.Text = txtCookie.Text & curr_line & vbCrLf
         Label1.Caption = curr_line & vbCrLf
      Wend
    Close #1
  Exit Sub
ERROR_HANDLER:
   MsgBox Err.Description & ": " & file_name

this is what im using, When you run this you will see the difference in how the text is displayed differently in the label and textbox.
i want the textbox to look the same as the label does.

Thanks

Why are you feeding the textbox and the label separately.

Hi,

For TextBox Set
ScrollBars = Both, and
With your code, NewLine Characters are added at the End..

So, change the code to:

[code=vb]
txtCookie.Text = txtCookie.Text & vbcrLF & curr_line
[/code]

Hi,

Its because, with your Label Control, you are just displaying the Last Line Contents.. Do the same with TextBox..

Hi Qveen,

Sorry i dont understand what you mean. Because the label is displaying
from the first line then cuts out when the label runs out.

ok this is what the textbox looks like:

1537|839475968| 30651892|970757 120|29917780|*| LSID

and label looks like this:

1537
839475968
30651892
970757120
29917780
*
LSID

i want the textbox to look like the label.
the line between the numbers on the textbox are alot thicker.
