Write text on specific line in a textbox

[2005 user]

I am trying to write text on a specific line in a textbox for example on the forth line)

I've tried :

TextBox1.Lines = TextBox1.Lines.Length

but get this error:

Value of type 'Integer' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of String'.

I assume this is beacause TextBox1.Lines is an array of all the text in every line in the textbox.

Multiline is set to true.

How to fix this?

Dim lines As String() = myTextBox.Lines
 
lines(3) = myString
myTextBox.Lines = lines

Thanks for the reply,

I get this error:

System.IndexOutOfRangeException was unhandled
Message="Index was outside the bounds of the array."

The textbox where I am trying to write text to is empty.

Dim lines As String() = TextBox1.Lines
 
lines(0) = "test"
 
TextBox1.Lines = lines

Well, that's kind of important information. How can you write to the fourth line of a TextBox that has no lines in it? There has to be at least four lines for there to be a fourth line.

If you want to add a new line to a TextBox you can do this:

myTextBox.AppendText(Environment.NewLine)

You can also assign any String array you like to the Lines property of a TextBox to overwrite all existing text. The array doesn't have to have come from the Lines property in the first place:

Dim lines As String() = {"Line 1", "Line 2", "Line 3"}
 
myTextBox.Lines = lines
