Multi line

Hello, how can I write in a text box in different lines?
I explain myself, I use Borland and I want to write something in a line, for example "ABC", and in the second line "DEF". I try this, but it is written all in the same line.

Code:

Edit3->Text="ABC\n DEF"

Thanks,

Did you create edit box with ES_MULTILINE style?
Also change the \n to \r\n

How can I do that?

Post your edit box creation code.

Code:

  object Edit3: TEdit
    Left = 152
    Top = 16
    Width = 193
    Height = 161
    TabOrder = 3
    Text = 'Edit3'
  end

I can only show you how to do it in API not borlands library. Perhaps you had better wait for a borland afficionado.
btw. this is really windows programming, we have a board for the purpose.

Thanks anyway, I´ll see if any borland user can help me.

Moved to windows board.

I echo that if you haven't already done it, windows is picky about its newlines.

Ok, I just did a bit of research and it appears what you're working with seems to be a combination of a couple of things. If you could tell us exactly what you're working with that would be awesome.

I´ve tried with \r\n and it doesn´t work . I´m working in a windows program in wich you write some text, that text is saved into a file, and that file is send to a computer. I want that text box to show if the text has been correctly saved.

I´m working with XP and Borland C++ Builder 6.

Thanks,

You should check the Borland vcl documentation - isn't TEdit a single-line edit control wrapper anyway? If that's the case you'll probably have to use another control that supports multiline - TMemo, maybe?

This is all guesswork as it's been a long time since I last fiddled around with borland builder. In the absence of someone more informed about bcb, check the documentation and look for a method/flag for the control(s) of interest that may enable multiline behaviour.

Thanks, I found the problem. As Ken Fitlike said, TEdit only allows you to write in a single line. The control that allows you to write in a multiline is TMemo.

Thanks for your help!!
