Dear all,

Is it possible to insert a line break into a textbox that the 'Multiline'
has been set to True? I used "\n" in C# but it doesn't work.

Thanks for any help,

Tedmond

It should be - but isn't \n Unix?

Use Environment.Newline which I *think* will give you \n\r.
 
"\r\n" in the string will cause a linebreeak. This only works in code
however because if you do it in design-time the editor causes the '\'
characters to be escaped and they look like "hello\r\nWorld" in the runtime.

.... on Windows-based systems.
 
Actually, "\r\n" (on Windows systems)
