Board index » Visual Studio » multiline dialog text

Visual Studio162
I'm using a modeless dialog as a message box, with a simple static text

control to display the text. Like so:



pMsgWindow->SetDlgItemText(IDC_MSGWINDOW, msg); // msg is a CString



I can't get the static text box to display multiple lines... if I format

the string with "Line1 \r\n Line2" all it does is display funky

characters for the CRLF. There's no multi-line property for static text

boxes either. Any way to do this?



Thanks.

Once you add the static control to your dialog, increase the height of

the static control. Only then you can see the second line and so on.

The control is plenty high for multiple lines. The problem is that the

text displays on only one line, with CRLF replaced with graphics

characters.

try \n instead of \r\n.
