Using \n in an EDIT box(I have an error)

I have an EDIT box. I tried to put in a \n to skip a line, but it doesn't work. I get:

220 keyboard.cpp
passing `char' to argument 2 of `strcat(char *, const char *)' lacks a cast

Edit boxes need \r\n for a newline.

I have the code:

strcat(getName, '\r\n');

and it says:

220 keyboard.cpp
passing `int' to argument 2 of `strcat(char *, const char *)' lacks a cast


and I tried:

strcat(getName, "\r\n");

and it doesn't do a new line.

and I tried:

strcat(getName, "\r\n");

This should work. You'll have to post more code.

btw, what compiler are you using?

I am using Mingw32 in Dev-C++

I tried strcat(getName, "\r\n"); on Dev C++ and it inserted a newline on an Editbox, so the problem must be elsewhere in your code (is getName long enough to be appended).

Are you sure you have a MultiLine edit?

I got a multiline now. I forgot it. But now, I have the message. Though, when I click the button a second time, it shows the message twice, third click,message 3 times, and so on. What do Ido to reset the contents ofthe char's whenthe button is clicked?
