How do i make a "new line" with in an edit box?

**Clyde** · 05-18-2002

Ok I can print to my edit box with SetWindowText(), but how do I split the text into lines? \n doesn't seem to work.

There must be a way, because I can enter lines of text (including returns) scan it to a char array with GetWindowText() and the put it back into the edit box with SetWindowText().

So what symbol is used to mean new line?

try giving the edit

ES_AUTOVSCROLL | ES_MULTILINE//will allow ENTER == new line and scroll to show current line

or use

\r

try '\r\n' or maybe '\n\r'
