Is there any way to get checkbox in .NET CF which has more than one
line of text?

I've tried inserting "\r\n" where I want the new line to start, which
shows up fine in the Designer, but the second line is blank when the
code runs on the emulator or the device.

Thanks,
Mike

sadly, no. you can create a custom control to exhibit this behavior
or, just position a label below the text of the checkbox (or radiobutton)
and set the text of both at runtime.

SDF includes the CheckBoxEx control that will wrap the long text.

The label below the text box works OK, but when the checkbox is the
selected control, only the top line is highlighted. Instead, I'm going
to use a checkbox with no text, and place a multiline label next to it.
In this case, only the checkbox itself is highlighted, but that looks
better to me.

Thanks for the lead.
