NewLine in a TextBox

NewLine in a TextBox

  You made a mistake in the command.
  You should use Environment.NewLine instead of Enviroment.NewLine (missing the 'n').

  Grtz, Tom.

  You should actually use Environment.NewLine, just in case your code gets run on a system one day where the newline is not CrLf.

  HoundsOfHell asked the same question just now within the following post (^_^ ):

  If i'm not mistaken, by adding the "vbCr" or "ControlChars.CrLf" commands to you AppendText command, you should be able to start a NewLine (if the TextBox in question has the "MultiLine" property set to True).

  Maybe you could try that.

  According to MSDN, it should work.

  What's the error

  When i used the "Enviroment.Newline" command it gave me an error saying the "Enviroment is not Declared".
  
  Ive been using "ControlChar.CrLf"
  
  

• adam kromm

  What would the actual line of code be
  
  Textbox1.appendtext("blah" & vbCR)
  
  or
  
  Textbox1.appendtext("blah" & ControlChars.CrLf)
  
  something like that

  Hmmm. That's interesting. I've just been introduced to the VB.NET environment, so i'm basically learning new commands and properties via posts like these.

  At the moment i've been using the "vbCr" command a lot. I've tried the Environment.NewLine command you mentioned and the result is the same.

  If TextBox2.Text <> "" Then TextBox1.AppendText(TextBox2.Text & Environment.NewLine)

  You mentioned a few posts back that there is a possibility on a system the newline is not CrLf. How can you tell Is there a way of verifying it

  
  

• Lenitcha

  i used from his example

  TextBox1.AppendText(TextBox2.Text & ControlChars.CrLf)
