How to insert a carriage return into a textbox 2

[vatawna]

Hi,

I use "\n" to add a carriage return to a string, and then assign that whole thing to the text property of the textbox control as follows:

txtMessage.Text = "\n" + someString;

The problem is the textbox shows a square and the string.

Does anyone know how to insert a carriage return to the text property of a textbox control.

Thanks.

Hello

I don't think we can insert a carriage return into the textbox. You could create a textarea and give it the same dimensions as the textbox so it looks the same. Then the carriage return will show.

Has the textbox had the MultiLine property set true?

And also, you should be using Environment.NewLine rather than embedded a \n into a string.

Newb here, ignore me if I'm miles off but newlines are \r\n for the purposes of text boxes? also as chiph says, MultiLine property should be set to True.
I couldnt see a way of making them autosize, and had to set a positive value for height, to make this work tho.
