CString Problerm

[Shay Harel]

this is easy: CString t= "hello \ world"; Pay attention to the backslash, type ENTER after it and go on

[Rashid Thadha]

or you can do this CString t = "Hello" "World"; without the '\' slash character

Thanks. I never thought it was so simple. What a shame. What if I want to force it to make a newline? Newbies

A new line in the text? Use \n, there's others too like \t for tab, \\ for '\', etc. Look these up (or 'escape sequences') in MSDN for more info

Thanks I've look at MSDN and you were right. but when I want to type like this CString welcome_string = "Hello\ \n World"; so that Hello and World are in different line, there was a "newline is constant" error. :confused: Newbies

CString welcome_string = "Hello\ \n**\** World";

lucy wrote: CString welcome_string = "Hello\ \n\ World"; Thanks again. I've tried that but this came out warning C4129: ' ' : unrecognized character escape sequence and the line was still in one line. :confused: Newbies

oops, sorry, should be CString welcome_string = "Hello\n\ World";

[Zayax]

A lot of thanks for your reply:) BUT the output was Hello|World and not Hello World this was my code void CMyView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC) { CString welcome_string = "Hello\n\ World"; pDC->TextOut(0,0,welcome_string); } Newbies

I'm afraid TextOut couldn't handle the "\n", but MessageBox() can. Try MessageBox(welcome_string); and see.

;) I'm not sure. You'd better check that out.

[Zayax]

Thanks:rose: Is this means only messagebox can handle "\n"? How about editbox or listbox ia a dialog? Newbies

[Zayax]

:)Thanks Newbies

As Lucy said, TextOut() can not handle newlines, but DrawText() can. If you want to output multi line text use DrawText(). HTH
