MsgBox

[Parul Bagadia]

Hi ppl,
Does somebody know how do we change the font of message we want to display in message box?
And how do we write sth on next line in the same message box without natural termination of line?
in simple words how do we implemnet '\n' in case of message box?

you can't change the font or any other setting of messagebox.

to write in multiple line you can add CHR(13) or VBCRLF (VISUAL BASIC CARRIAGE RETURN LINE FEED)

MSGBOX " THIS IS FIRST LINE " & VBCRLF & " THIS IS SECONDLINE "

Thanx.
Can u explain a bit more about CHR(13)?

see here -

Chr just represents characters and the code 13 is for CR or Carriage Return which I believe is a link to the idea of carridge return on a type writer etc

as quoted -

"When you type on a typewriter (for those of you under 25(?) who've never seen one) and reach the end of a line you grasp the "carriage return bar" which would return the carriage to the home position while simultaneously rotating the platen to feed the paper."

Simply i can say CHR(13) is the Enter key on your key board. As enter key carries the cursor to the next line so is CHR(13).

Also try to use vbNewLine

Hello people, thanx a lot for ur suggestions but i guess i didnt get the syntax coz i tried all the things u all suggested but its showing syntactical error :-(..
ill post the code here and tell me wats going wrong.

Private Sub Command4_Click()                                          'Command box for help purpose
Dim c As Integer
c = MsgBox("Steps to run this Program: Step 1:Enter the number on which you want to perfom operations  Step 2:Select one of the choices from the Base of input  Step3: Click on the conversion button for obtaining answer  Step4:To exit from the program click on Quit button.", vbOKOnly, "Help to run this program")
End Sub

i want each steps to come in succeeding lines.

You have no syntactical errors. To implement the '\n' use this:

c = MsgBox("Steps to run this Program:" & vbCrLf & "Step 1:Enter the number on which you want to perfom operations" & vbCrLf & "Step 2:Select one of the choices from the Base of input" & vbCrLf & "Step3: Click on the conversion button for obtaining answer " & vbCrLf & "Step4:To exit from the program click on Quit button.", vbOKOnly, "Help to run this program")

CHR(13)= 13 is also the ascii code for Enter key.

That's what i said in my earlier post; its giving compilation error i tried & vbCrLf &
chr(13) and vbnewline as well... but its not working,....

That's strange.. I just copy-paste your code and works fine.

I insert the vbCrLf into your msg box because i thought there was the problem..
