Messagebox (NewLine)

[Thomas Beyerlein]

Is there a way to put some of the text typed into a messagebox string on
a new line? This is for user readability only.

Thanks
Tom

I think this is what you want:

MessageBox.Show("Line 1" & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & "Line 2")

It might be VbCr instead of VbCrLf

Enjoy

\\\
MsgBox("Hello" & ControlChars.NewLine & "World!")
///

Alternatively you can use 'vbNewLine', 'Environment.NewLine', 'vbCrLf', ...

These other examples work, I have found though recently the stringbuilder
class. It works verywell for this, and allows for alot more customization
and control on the text formatting.

dim message as stringbuilder

message.appendformat("Hello {0}!",username)
message.append(environment.newline)
message.appendformat("{0}, what are you doing {0}?",username)
message.append(environment.newline)
message.appendformat("{0}, I will kill you {0}!",username)

messagebox.show(message.tostring,"HAL9000")
