How do create a new line in a text box.

If I put \n in my string, and set .Text to the
value of the string, a carriage return character is displayed literally,
but it doesn't actually start on a new line in the textbox.

Use \r\n.

Where can you look up all those \r\n thingy me gigs in the in the
documentation?

If you do it programatically "Something\r\nWicked" it will show up as a
newline but not if you go through the designer. Also, ensure that you don't
have the @ (literal string) in front of it.

Thanks -- I left off the \r and just put in the \n

Now it works !!!

Thanks Bob.

Not many of them...

\\ literal backslash
\n literal newline
\r literal carriage return
\t literal horizontal tab
\v literal vertical tab
\" literal double-quote

\v is recognized but you can't use it in a text box.
