VB.net (message boxes)

Nerdz · 15-April-06, 12:09 AM

Ive created a message box, but the message I have is too long. I want it to go to the next line, but I cant get it to do so.

Ive used controlChar.newline, and even & _

Heres my message

PHP Code:

  Private Sub Help_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Help.Click
        MessageBox.Show(" This Calculator Created By Overclocked. You can reach me at Overclocked2300(at)gmail.com Instructions:Enter Heatsink Measurements in inches. Press Calculate. Thats all there is too it!", "Heatsink Calculator By Overclocked", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Asterisk)
    End Sub

get swiggly lines If I try to press enter and skip to another line (meaning, the code is wrong)

Any Ideas?

Try:

MessageBox.Show("Line1" & vbCrLF & "Line2")

So Im guessing in place of Line one I have to:

Dim Line1 as String = "My message here"
Dim Line2 as String = "My 2nd Message here"

Right?

You don't even have to go that far...you can do it just like the above example.

You're on the right track Nerdz. Also spell check. Next to last word is TO.

Use VBCRLF

Ex: "Part of the string " & vbcrlf & "the rest of it on a new line"
