HELP: Printing carriage return character

[Rob Lemieux]

Using Visual Basic 6.0

I want the program to be able to print the carriage return.

txtDisplay.Text = "Welcome to" + Chr(13) + "my demo."

All I get is

Welcome to|my demo.

With some strange character instead!

Hi Rob,

you need to set the textbox's MultiLine property to true....you can do it at
Design time and in run time.

In run time:
txtDisplay.MultiLine = True

txtDisplay.MultiLine = True

Did you try that? I get "can't assign to read-only property"
It has to be set at design time

I got my solution from the sister group "com.lang.basic.visual":

--------------------------------------------------------------------
You need both a carriage return AND a linefeed and the textbox's Multiline
property must be True

txtDisplay.Text = "Welcome to" & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) & "my demo."
or
txtDisplay.Text = "Welcome to" & vbCRLF & "my demo."
or
txtDisplay.Text = "Welcome to" & vbNewLine & "my demo."

Note that Chr$ is slightly faster than Chr because Chr$ returns a string
directly while Chr returns a string inside a Variant; also, the & operand
is specifically meant for string concatenation and using + can lead to
trouble if you aren't careful about the data types

txtDisplay.Text = "Welcome to" + Chr(13) + "my demo." Is txtDisplay a Textbox ?
If so is it MultiLine ?
