Change row in a Visual Basic messagebox
 

Hi,

How do you change row in a msgbox in Visual Basic?

For instance if you would like to cut a sentence into two rows, so instead
of the msgbox showing:

"A long sentence in just one piece"

It shows

"A long sentence
but in two pieces"

Might be a bit silly question but in the hunt for pedagogy and efficiency...

Thanks

Hi Stefan

Try inserting a line feed (or CrLf this sometimes gives a square box though)

"A long sentence " & chr(10) & "in just two pieces"

Looks like there are quite a few methods of doing this, because I
always just put vbcrlf.

as in ..."A long sentence " & vbcrlf & "in just two pieces"

the truth of that statement is OS system dependent. vbNewline < vbCrLf on
a MAC for example. vbNewline will always be appropriate for this question.
