Lines property of textbox
Working on an app where I want to print (among other things) the text in a textbox... I am having difficulties reading the individual lines in the textbox... I do the following
VB Code:
dim strLines() as string
strLines = textbox1.Lines
Now I thought I got a string array representing each of the lines in the textbox, BUT I get only one string with all lines.
Is there a problem with the new line or something? Or what is the definition of "line" in a textbox? I have the textbox with a size of 136;120 (pretty small)...
UPDATE: The problem I have is that I have to press "return" in order for a new line to be recognized... But since I have wordwrap property set to true, it should add newline when I type beyond the width of the textbox, yes? Or how can I solve it???
kind regards
Henrik

I believe the wordwrap inside the control has no bearing on the actual linefeeds or carriage returns contained in the text.
The control artifically puts them in there, and systematically removes them when you access the underlying text.
