odd String behavior in Text box vs RichTextBox

[Dan28088]

In attempting to minimize the libraries that need to be packaged up with an install / setup file I am returning to an issue with the Text box.

I am attempting to write a string to the box – If I write it to the RichTextBox the inline return characters are recognized and what I get is what I expect. It is a readable page with line returns. If I write it to a text box I get one long and continuous line with escape characters (little squares) occurring where the line returns are intended to be. When I hit this the first time the command line TYPE showed me the one continuous line too, so I just opted for the RichTextBox as a simple means to the end I needed. Now cutting space in the Install makes me consider the wisdom of this.

Is there a simple way to get the textbox to recognize line returns and thus get the string to look like it should, or should I just give up and deal with it through the RichTextBox

Just change the MultiLine property of the textbox to True.
