    Multi-Line EditBox in Dialog.

    I want to make a multi-line edit box, in a dialog:

    EDITTEXT IDD_SETCUSTOM_WELC, 11, 22, 100, 25, ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL | WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL

    But when I try to move to the next line, by pressing ENTER, nothing happens, it's like i didn't define it as a multi line editbox.

    What do I do?


    Thanks in advance.

    Give it the ES_WANTRETURN style:
    ES_WANTRETURN Specifies that a carriage return be inserted when the user presses the ENTER key while entering text into a multiple-line edit control in a dialog box. Without this style, pressing the ENTER key has the same effect as pressing the dialog box’s default pushbutton. This style has no effect on a single-line edit control. ~msdn edit styles
