Messagebox truncating text

[SteveShanks]

Hi

I'm using a standard messagbox call to put some text on the screen. I build the message by concatening text into a string variable like this:


strMessage = "WARNING!" & vbCrLf
strMessage = strMessage & "'Completed' date has been removed." & ControlChars.CrLf & ControlChars.CrLf
strMessage = strMessage & "All dependant items will also have the Completed date removed!"

If (MessageBox.Show(strMessage, "Job Completion", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) = DialogResult.OK) Then
End If

The message is getting cut off after 'All dependant items will also have the Completed date' so missing 'removed!' text

What is going on?

Thanks

not sure, but ControlChars.CrLf may be a lot longer than vbcrlf you might want to try vbcrlf



if it is to be it's up to me

Works fine for me. Is the DPI setting in Display Properties set to something other than normal ? Shouldn't matter, but may be causing the message box layout to go screwy.
