How do I put a carriage return in a label or text box???

[The_Magic_Guy]

Another simple question for this game I'm making, with a (hopefully) simple answer....

How do I force a text box or label control to move to the next line? One thing that comes to mind is changing the cursor insertion point, but if there's no text on the next line, then it can't move there, can it? And anyhow, there will be different amounts of text in each line.

Thanks, The_Magic_Guy

text1.text= line1 & vbcrlf & line2



I think there is also a word wrap property you cas set to true.

in a regular textbox, if you want the text to wrap, set the ScrollBars property to Vertical. and make sure the MultiLine property is set to True

In a Label, make sure the AutoSize Property is set to False, and the Caption should wrap automatically

I think the multiline property by itself will do the trick wont it?
