CString.Format - new line?

[Oliver123]

I want to display each of the below variables in a separate line in a list box. I know I can use a separate InsertString for each one. But I wonder if there is a format command I can put in the ComplMessage.Format that will cause each one to go to a new line. I have looked at the format directives for sprintf, but don't see anything obvious. But sometimes it just isn't obvious. Any ideas? Thanks. ComplMessage.Format("%d %s %s %c %d@%.4s %8s %d/%d %7s %d-%s", orderDetail.XrefP, orderDetail.ContractName, orderDetail.ContractDate, orderDetail.BuyOrSell, orderDetail.Lots, orderDetail.Price, orderDetail.OrderID, orderDetail.AmountFilled, orderDetail.NoOfFills, orderDetail.AveragePrice, orderDetail.Status, StatLine); pListBox->InsertString(0,ComplMessage);

You can use edit box with multi line to instead listbox

Any reason why you don't use \n in the format specifier?

I tried that. Also tried \n\r. \n yields a bold vertical bar in the resulting single line of text. \n\r yields two bold vertical bars.

Of course it does. What else would you expect it to display since a list control is not meant for multiple lines. If you must have multiple lines, use an edit control with the ES_MULTILINE style.

I guess I have been using the wrong tool for the job. The edit control works much better. Thanks.
