CString Newline Escape Sequence Character not working 1

[rchandr3]

May be an easy question for most of you!

I have a CString variable when I allocate a "\n" Newline to it, it doesnt take care of it. while the "\t" works.

Code: CString strMessage;
strMessage = _T("I am a Tek-Tips Member. \n\t I would be thanksful to people giving me solution");

I tried Format() method of CString and its also not working out for me.

Thanks in Advance


Cheers,

What are you placing the text in? If it is a text control, you must make it multi-line. If you are writing it to a file, some programs may display it incorrectly.

If it is neither of these, post again and let us know where you are placing the text.

Thanks Matt,

I want to post the text in a Edit Control in a dialog box. I have already made that multiline. I have given a Vertical Scrollbar too...

But I dont get the \n working.

Please help me further...

Do you have a member variable set to the edit control? Are you calling update data?

I have a member variable set. I am calling the dialog in a different dialog.

I am getting the string displayed in the edit, but not with multiline formatting. It gets multiline only at the line end and ignores my /n characters.

Thanks again...
