Difference between VbCrLf and VbLf

[Cestlavie]

Ok, i'm encountering some problem with the use of VbCrlf (Carriage Return LineFeed Combination) with my richedit control, as an alternative, i plan to force my RichEdit control to use VbLf (linefeed, chr(10)) using code, whenever the user presses the "ENTER" key on their keyboard

The end result is that i get less error with VbLf and my app have no error anymore, i notice there's not much difference between the two as well, but just for safety's sake , can anyone tell me the difference between them?

The difference is mainly that in dos, you only use a chr$(10) while in windows you use both a chr$(13) & chr$(10) to format line breaks. In the richtext control, when interpreting a file with just linefeeds (chr(10)), it will automatically add the matching carriage returns (this is why wordpad can read dos and unit text with the lines formated correctly, while notepad cannot.) I would guess, that if you were to save the information in your Richtextbox, you will find that the Richtextbox will automatically add the chr(13) & chr(10) combinations to all your line breaks. At least that is my experience.

vbCrLf = Carriage Return AND Line Feed (Chr(13) And Chr(10))

vbLf = Only Line Feed (Only Chr(10))

vbTab = Tab (Chr(9))

vbBack = Backspace (Chr(8))

vbCr = Only Carriage Return (Chr(13))

vbFormFeed = FormFeed (Chr(12))

vbNewLine = A platform specific vbCr or vbLf or vbCrLf or vbFormFeed

vbNullChar = Null (Chr(0))

vbNullString = For API's requiring Null String Paramater

vbObjectError = Error from your custom class (Object).

vbVerticalTab = Vertical Tab (Chr(11))

Looks like it should be safe to use vbLF after all, since it'll auto create the CarriageReturn (if that's what you mean) when saving then my app shouldn't encounter any compatibility problem at all.

Thanks
