New Line in TextBox

[dr3amxstar]

Hi.. Would really be glad to have some help on textBox .

From what i know of textbox , the old value that u assign to it will always be replace by the new ones. Example :

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim array(4) As String
        array(0) = 6
        array(1) = 6
        array(2) = 6
        array(3) = 6
        array(4) = 6
        For n As Integer = 0 To 4
 
            TextBox1.Text = array(n)
 
        Next
 
    End Sub

The output will only be one 6 on the textBox. However i want five 6 to be listed on the textbox. Is there a line break or something so that i can print all things in the array? I know i can use the listbox to achieve that but then i am not able to copy the words from the listbox

Make the TextBox Property Multi line =True

and

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim array(4) As String
        array(0) = 6
        array(1) = 6
        array(2) = 6
        array(3) = 6
        array(4) = 6
        For n As Integer = 0 To 4
 
            TextBox1.Text = array(n) & vbcr
 
        Next
 
    End Sub

Hi i have set the multiline to true and edit this line
TextBox1.Text = array(n) & vbcr

However the output display is still the same. only one 6

This is a fundamental rule - assigning a value to a property or variable replaces what was there previously. You cannot append a value to it.

What you need to do is think carefully about what you want to put there. In a case like this, what you want to put there is the old value plus the new value, isn't it? So put that in there.

what'er Vb version this is also a way. okay Explain your problem with some other example...

I'll give you another hint.

If you have a string variable, and you want to add something onto the end of it, what do you do?

Let's say MyString = "ABC"
How would you add, say, a "D" onto the end, using code?
You do the same with a textbox.

okay I got the prob,

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim array(4) As String
        array(0) = 6
        array(1) = 6
        array(2) = 6
        array(3) = 6
        array(4) = 6
        TextBox1.Text = ""
        For n As Integer = 0 To 4
 
            TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & array(n)  
        Next
 
    End Sub
 
 
Change the Code line to : 
              TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & array(n) & vbcr

Oh nuts! I was trying to encourage dr3amxstar to work it out.

Oh well...

Keep in mind dr3amxstar, you only want to add on the vbcrlf (actually, I'd recommend vbNewLine) if you want a line break between the values. You can stick them together without the breaks.

hello
you can use the following statement while at the time of inserting text

text1.text=text1.text & array(n) & vbcrlf

thanks

Oops i thought nobody was replying to my thread and i managed to figured it out :D anyway thanks for all the help given!! I really did learn alot from this forum :D

 TextBoxForm2c.AppendText(source3 & vbCrLf & accuracy & vbCrLf)

Glad we could help.

It's good that you were able to work it out. I prefer to try and help people work out the answer rather than just giving it to them outright, anyway. Copy/paste generally doesn't teach you much.
