[guitar2]

I am trying to add text to the next line in a textbox but don't now how to insert a carrage return so it writes the new text on the same line.

how it looks:
Current text new text

what I want:
current text
new text

Set multiLine=true for the box at design time.
To add to the end of the text.
txtbox.SelStart = 65535 ' get to end of text
txtbox.seltext = vbcrlf & strNewText ' add carriage return

something a little less confusing:

PrivateSub Command1_Click ()
Txtold.Multiline = True
Txtold.Text = Txtold.Text & vbCr & txtnew.text
End Sub

See if this works.

Less confusing, slower and it will not work.
Multiline is Read-only at run-time which is why I said set it at design-time. What is the point of extracting text to a temporary string just to put it back into the textbox.

I'm sorry about writing that code. The format works for message boxes, and I assumed that it would work for textboxes.
I just tried it and it doesn't work.
Sorry.
