I'm using Visual Basic 2008 and I created a Text box (Its just small part of my application.) It's multilined Text box and I don't know how to enter a new line for me to go to new line I have to space alot and takes up alot of space is there any shorter way? (Not Tab either) I tryed enter key also Doesnt go to next line either.

There's two ways.

(You should be using a Rich Text Box in the first place BTW)

Newline characters are \n, \r\n, or the preferred Environment.Newline.

Why Environment.Newline? Some localizations use the \n and \r\n combo's as something other than the new line character. Environment.Newline is aware of the current localization and changes the newline character accordingly.

So the full code would be simple.

richTextBox1.AppendText("your string" & Environment.Newline)

You could also substitute it out for:

richTextBox1.AppendText("your string \n")

But that's not recommended.



On a side note before people complain about my \r\n statement.

\r is usually a carriage return, and \n is a line feed. (CRLF if any of you have seen the acronym) Some older OS's require the \r\n, others only require \n. Either way, Environment.Newline solves you having to worry about it at all.
