Thread: \n\r in an editbox control???

I'm sending the next string to the edit control: "[b]hello\n\rworld[b]"... But the edit box displays the string without getting to the next line, and instead of \n\r it shows 2 unknown signs, but when I made it \r\n it worked, why?

Code:

EDITTEXT        IDD_EDIT, 10, 35, 165, 70, ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ES_AUTOVSCROLL | WS_VSCROLL | ES_MULTILINE | ES_WANTRETURN | ES_READONLY

Thanks

Probably the compiler writer looks along the string and finds a '\n' - knowing this is not an expected valid character, it prints a splat. Then it looks at the next character and does the same.

The other way around, it see's the '\r' and because the author knows this may be valid, does a look ahead to see if the next character is a '\n' if so, it correctly interprets your wishes.

If the requirement is "\r\n" then that is a requirement. If you wrote this...

Code:

fi ( x == 6)

... would you expect it to work?!
