so here I go with another embarassing newbie question.

I have a bunch of numerical values (integers) which I want to display in a mutiline CEdit control, each on a seperate line.

I tried something like this:

sFormatString.Format("%d\n", i);
sList += sFormatString;
cEditControl.SetWindowText(sList);

but it didn't work.
The numbers where displayed correctly but instead of the linefeeds I get these vertical lines and it looks like this:

1|3|15|23|12|

Any idea what a solution to this could be?
I did enable the "return possible" property for the control and, yes, it's set to multiline.

Thanks a lot in advance
 
Oh... so close !

sFormatString.Format("%d[red]\r[/red]\n", i);

Allright, I triet \n and I tried \r. Both of them had the same result. I never got the idea to actually combine the two!
Thanks for helping me out (again)!
Works great now!
