Displaying list of text in a TextBox

Displaying list of text in a TextBox

  Brilliant! That did it. The vbCrLf was the command I was looking for. Thank you so much. This has been frustrating me for over a week.

  I tried adding evironment.NewLine and I'm getting an error: 424 Run-time Error. Object required.

  I'm not much of a programmer. Do I need to substitute an object for the word "environment" in the line of code you suggested

  You can set the multiline attribute to true.

  vbCrLf and Environment.NewLine produce the same result; specifically, a carriage return and line feed characters. Should the .NET framework be implemented on, say, a unix platform, then they may (would) be different. Lookup the .NewLine property in Help.

  Note that if you are having issues with Environment.NewLine, then you may have other problems, too: by default, Environment.Newline should be available to you for use.

  vbCrLf works fine for me, what is the difference between the two

  str = item1 & vbcrlf & item2 & vbcrlf

  I've done that, but I need to some how force a new line after each list item. Curruently I have a numbered list strung together. I need each numbered item to appear on it's own line. Each lsit item maybe 1 or more lines in length. Any thoughts

  ''If it were me I would make the textbox multi line then do something like this:
  
  Private Const LINE_ITEM_FORMAT as String = "{0}) {1}" & vbCrLf
  
  Private itemList As String
  
  itemList += String.Format(LINE_ITEM_FORMAT, 1, "the first item")
  itemList += String.Format(LINE_ITEM_FORMAT, 2, "the second item")
  itemList += String.Format(LINE_ITEM_FORMAT, 3, "the third item")
  itemList += String.Format(LINE_ITEM_FORMAT, 4, "the forth item")
  
  TextBox1.Text = itemList
  
  ''If you list is broken up by commas or some other delimiter you can use String.Split to create an array of items you can loop though.

  It seems like you should be able to use this, but I've never tried it in a text box. Did you set the textbox to allow multiline text

  How do you convert your numbered list into a string You could of vbCrLf.

  This trick has worked for me regarding Tooltips and I think that it can work with text boxes as well. You can use the "environment.NewLine" command to start a new line. You must string it together just as if it was a normal string.

  Example:

  Textbox.text = "This example will start a new line" & environment.NewLine & "NOW"
