Multiline Textbox

[Michael C]

Hi all,

I'm trying to add lines to a multiline textbox. Here's what I'd like to end
up with in the textbox (as an example):

Line1
Line2
Line3

I've tried a couple of methods but nothing seems to be working. Code like
this doesn't work:

s = "Line1";
TextBox1.Text += s + "\n";
s = "Line2";
TextBox1.Text += s + "\n";
s = "Line3";
TextBox1.Text += s + "\n";

I end up with:

Line1[]Line2[]Line3[]

(Where [] is presumably some funky representation of the character '\n').

I also tried to assign values to the lines as we go

TextBox1.Lines[0].Text = "Line1";
TextBox1.Lines[1].Text = "Line2";
TextBox1.Lines[2].Text = "Line3";

I get "Index Outside the Bounds of the Array."

I'm missing something simple here I'm sure. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Michael C.

I seem to remember that there is a Multiline property for textboxes.
Have you tried setting that to true?

Hi Micheal C,

Remember to set the textbox multiline setting to true.

3 ways of coding it.

1)

textBox1.Text = "Euro 2004 Football" + Environment.NewLine + "World Cup 2006";

2)

string str1 = "Superman";
string str2 = "Spiderman";

textBox1.Text = str1 + "\r\n" + str2;

3)

string[] strArray = new string[5];
strArray[0] = "Line 1";
strArray[1] = "Line 2";
strArray[2] = "Line 3";
strArray[3] = "Line 4";
strArray[4] = "Line 5";

textBox1.Lines = strArray;

Hope it helps. Cheers.

[Michael C]

Yes, I set the multiline property to true. Third option won't work -- the
items are being added dynamically on the fly. The "\r\n" code worked.
Thanks!

Hi Micheal C,

All of the 3 solutions works fine in my PC. Maybe some type error when i type it here. Haha!

Happy that you get it working now! :)
